One more blow, another crack
The broken glass falls oh so fast
I look to find what might remain
The broken shards, a withering frame

His laugh is contagious
His smile is wry
It can last for an instant
Or stay for a while
It falls from his face
With a realization in his eyes
Sorrow flowing from creases
Where happiness did lie
Worry hangs in the sleeves
Where his hands gently tug
His eyes pull at your heart strings
Though its not you that he’ll love
He’s looking for something else
While he’s searching in you
You’re letting him search
Cause you need it too

My convictions are true
but my virtue is absent

I’m full of thought
but fail in action

I’m looking for love
only finding frustration

Continuously stumbling back
into aberration

I hide behind words
in fear of emotion

Unable to admit
how fully I’m broken

I try to escape
but my feet are grounded

Standing atop the turmoil
I so foolishly founded

I feel myself fall
and know better than to fight it

Yet I reach out in vain
still trying to right it
Caitlin Mar 2019
There’s a hole that gapes my heart
That pours into my soul
It throbs with sorrow in gentle waves
Into a sea of calm still filled with pain
Caitlin Mar 2019
Morning breaks, the sky’s still grey
I lay silent as the day slips by
Afraid to move, unwilling I stay
Caitlin Mar 2019
Engines roar dimly in the background
Dimly the light glows brightly through the shade
Brightly the screen flashes dull and dark images
Dull and dark the stars are shining like diamonds

— The End —
