I put all my eggs in one basked.
          G l a s s   E g g s

And they were taken,
                 one by one
and broken.

That cold hard wall you put up
to keep from getting hurt.
that old broken glass.


And that one last egg I was left.
Fell off.
 
Broken glass. Crush it fine enough,
                          And it looks Almost like glitter.

            I hope you like it.
because in the end,
                                 Its all you'l ever get.

Through your eyes. I could save the world.
Leap across tall buildings and catch crashing planes.

But that look, Empty?
                                    Contemptibly?
Cuts deep,
                  and stops me dead in my tracks.
I was helpless.

A smile to die for,
                              I'd die to see one last time.

Do me a favor
and slit my throat.

Cut my heart out like an Aztec priest
You can keep it
I probably won't need it.

Hold it. Cold,
It used to beat for you

But now....

After stealing my heart
and torturing my soul

I find it's easier to give
when you have no reason to live

And you, My darling.
Cut deeper than any knife I own.

The things you laughed at.
The things I did.

Never a Lie,
                     but Never believe.
                                                        ­                          Doing Everything I can
"I love you" more than.
                Every ******* hair on this body.
                Every eyelash fallen.
                Every kiss, Ever kissed.
                                                         ­                         
               What is the definition of love
I tried.                                                           ­            Harder than anything.
To make you feel special.
To make you believe, you were it.

I was done searching.

But afraid, you
         R  a  n.

Funny thing how forgetful we are.
Mind drifts off and so does the consciousness.

The history of the world and the life age of a species can be lost at the blink of an eye.

Funny how emotions work just like memories.
With the blink of an eye, you'r there in my mind.

Haunting me like a lost soul. I can't escape.
Your essence around me, engulfing me, choking me.

She says "Its dead."
But as a matter of Fact,

In the end,
So is everything else.

The weight in grams, Hasn't changed.
The way I feel about you, Hasn't changed.

Though it feels lighter than when I put it on last,
            It's just as heavy.
                    And hurts just as much.

It remains untouched.
Not changed, Tarnished, rusted, cracked or broken.
                     That was the point.

The promised, everlasting future beheld to us,
                                                             ­                Torn away.

Washed in tears and dried with time.
        Time is all that's left.
                                           Waiting

I loved
   Everything about you

From the way you brushed your hair
    to the way you would stare.

The way we kissed
all the way to your hiss.

Even you'r blink of an eye
Could get me to fly

I miss you.
