Today you said those words
They cannot be unsaid
Not in love, no way back
The ties that bind us frayed

So casually uttered
A heart unduly split
So many dreams to be rebuilt
How long had this relationship been teetering on stilts?

I envy your apathy
Long for hostility, passion, reason
Single sided loneliness
A warped form of treason

You embrace me, vigorously
You fill my heart so full, it could burst at the seams
Thoughts of you consume my small moments
Vines of you weaved around my veins
I will never be free


Worry.

In a room i found you.
A light in our grim surroundings.
We fell fast,
Odds stacked against us
Oceans between us, still it lasts.

In a room i met you
I saw your smile from miles away and realised you were tiny.
My heart jumped and so ensued a tentative yet longing-laced embrace.  

In a room i loved you.
Passionate and fierce, realising there was no way you could ever be replaced.

In a room i left you, tears streaming down your face. Unable to make it better, we made our plan with haste.

In a room i sit, thinking of your face. Soft brown eyes and beautiful smile, i feel your love surround me. The depth of love i feel for you still astounds me.

Who could have guessed we would be here after meeting in that room.

You've taken root, your essence permeates my being. Your love consumes me, creates a frenzy in my heart.

Should it really matter that you aren't what other people want for me?

I know it doesn't seem it
But it will be okay.
Put one foot in front of the other,
Take it day by day.
I know you feel so heavy,
Empty and forlorn
Numb to almost everything
Yet feeling each thorn.
Fake the smile, do what you must.
But most of all, never forget that all is not lost.

Emotions i have never felt
An ache that winds so deep
Tortured by the memories, even while i sleep

The things i loved have lost their shine, Music hurts, my books lie.
Happy endings don't exist.
Self - help quotes everywhere.
Momentarily happy, waves of navy blue
Ebbing and crashing.
Mind thrashing

Constantly thinking of you.

Silk cobwebs touch her skin
Twigs breaking underfoot
Each snap causing pause
Penetrating the walls of night, with each tentative step
Air thick with fear
Darkness seeping into her pores
Searching, groping the emptiness, frantic.
Wind wild and wicked

While i stand stock still, waiting for her.
