I turn my heart
upside-down
for you,
shaking it
out and allowing
the contents to
clatter
to the ground
where they remain,
lain out around
your feet
because you have
no need
for the little pieces
of me
and so I stay

incomplete.

By Arcassin Burnham


Darker times,
All we got is each other,
Read thru those lines,

See a realistic outcome,
It was you and me,
No one else as we run,

Away,
You said you'd stay,
At least you had a realistic outcome to flea astray.

I want so much to hold your hand
but I can't even hold myself together.

Her inner beauty
Shone so brightly
And was seen by others
blind, she knew not her own worth
