I built a temple in response to your prayer for my undeniable love so that we could worship it together.

The Pidgeon
As my heart aches
Falls apart and breaks
I feel at peace
My emotions cease
I exist in solitary
Forever wary
Of things to haunt me
As I nestle into to a fir tree
I felt broken
I felt stolen
By the girl who
Whisked my heart askew
As I stare into my despair
I tell you beware
Of the heartbroken world
That is worse than the underworld
Endless darkness
Endless starkness
Nothing to feel
Nothing to conceal
That nothing is worse
Than the broken heart curse
into a coma the western
democracies did slip
and in this deep sleep state
they'd lost their grip

all awareness of any threat
which was posed
had been expunged from
their minds as they reposed

warning sirens were blasting
a message so loud of din
communism has landed at your doors
wanting to force its way in
  
too late for none heard
the wake up call
they'd been in an endless
stupor's  thrall

Her dreams-
Were too loud
And when she was told to be quiet,
She listened.
Now she just sits in silence.

I never realized
How easy it could be
To lose yourself-

I stopped taking time for myself,
Gave myself to others,
Piece by piece.

Every time I put the puzzle back together,
Another piece was missing.
Or perhaps stolen.

One day I will no longer exist.
If you are overly pleased with yourself, keep your source of happiness hidden from others.
