Love, never did I understand it
Gradually consuming your heart bit by bit
To fall in love, I never thought was my fate
A Coward’s Coward, I shunned thoughts of love away
I built a wall around me, impenetrable and strong
To shield my heart, keep out all the wrong
Let you in though, not sure why
Like fire, my being had come alive
Bit by bit, I built my universe around you
Bit by bit, I gained a sense of truth
Bit by bit, it all came tumbling down
Bit by bit, war destroyed my firm ground
Like a dream dissolved, we waned out
Every sense of truth became a waning doubt
Bit by bit I rebuilt my life
After taking all this into my stride
Bit by bit, I learned to move on
Now my heart is once again strong...

I refuse to spill my heart over any more pages for you.

How do I heal if I break every time I feel?

Let me show you
All the words I cannot find.
Let me write them
On your neck in faded lipstick stains.
Close your eyes.
Listen to my shaking hands.
They have a code of their own,
One that only you can understand.
Listen to them rattle against your chest.
Feel the heat of my breath
Glide over your cheek.
Listen to what it’s telling you.
Feel my teeth tug at your bottom lip.
Let me get as close to you as I can
Without losing myself completely.
I can’t say this aloud.
Just listen to my body,
Decipher the language it speaks, wordlessly.
Somewhere in this mess,
The purest love I could ever muster.
A diamond
In all of our rough.
