Farewell until we meet again.

When the sun melts into the Sea,
and love comes ashore,
where I will be waiting.

My porcelain heart fell apart,
I tried to fix it but still
I am missing a few pieces.

I bow my head
as I clinched my chest,
trying to calm my beating heart;
(before it breaks free from my chest).

With each beat
my heart skips a beat,
memories flooded
as my blood pressure rises.

My porcelain heart
begins to blacken,
mold grows
where nothing is left.

Replaced by old memories,
my heart begins to sign.
Like a violin I pluck the stings,
playing a broken melody.

My lounges remind me of my limits.

Each inhale I struggle with,
choking on this morning breath,
dying for the nightly sky
to take away my burning flesh.

Sadly I have no tears
for the clouds stole
my fears.

I a wondering soul,
lost my breath to the Sea,
where I jumped so easily.

None do I regret,
for I made up my mind
year's before it was my time.

Upon unspoken word's you came,
in my sweetest dreams
you left me your kiss.

Upon your perfumed memory
you left but still I can remember
your faded sent (with clarity
you will never truly fade).

My dearest rose,
You inspired me;
in my sweetest dreams.*

If you have barred wetness
to my darkness,
try to understand my light
is underneath the surface.

To see it you have to sit
with me for awhile.

I burn like a candle,
my flame is small
but powerful.
