love...or lack there of??

don't analyze this.

you'll find that you're wrong. its not me. i don't know where this came from, it just came. read it and take it for just that.

broken heartstrings



softly the night sky whispers through a window’s ear
“ a love is dying”
slow and near

never has your chest felt so heavy
never has your room felt so empty

you rest your head upon his breast
listening intently to his slow steady breaths




up then down
the cycle plays out

up then down
up then down…




your eyes grow weary and swell with tears
your mind wanders as the silence stings your ears

pass the time
the clock winds down
eternity pulls your heartstrings
and love is just a dream you once had

the moon dances across your wall
what the hell is he so jubilant about

all that made you smile
all that made you laugh
all those happy times you thought you’d always have

all the things you knew you wanted
all the things captured in the locket you wore around your neck

they’re all slipping away
and you can’t control it




losing him
it’s your greatest fear
not poverty,
not death,
not even the devil
can shake your bones

you weren’t afraid to give in
for you gave in to his eyes
you weren’t afraid to fall
for you fell upon his lips once long ago

He’s been Gracious
Gracious enough to keep him by your side
so you question where you went wrong in stride

blame, blame
and then a little more
you’re playing this game
but no one’s keeping score

you’re losing
but you know there is no winner
eventually those heartstrings grow a little thinner

then one day comes when they lose their strength
they snap under pressure
and you fall from grace

reaching out
you find not a single hand

reaching out
but he’s been fast asleep...
