Our future is talked about
So carelessly

Almost as if
We are the ones who aligned our stars in their galaxies

Almost as if we have control over our weather,
or our seasons,
or our natural disasters

Almost as if we can control the infinite number of species that walk the same ground and breathe the same air every day

We tend to forget how negligibly small We are
in comparison to the Universe that created Us.
We are only a fraction of this world We have made Our home
yet We treat the species greater and stronger than Us with inferiority

We talk about tomorrow almost as if
It is something We are able to manipulate.
Yet in reality,
Our future is something that even the greatest forces, far greater than you and I, cannot come close to grasping
Our future is inevitable
Our future is unpredictable.

My
Ocean Eyes
turned
ice cold
after you
left
an empty void
that
no amount
of
sunshine
could warm

I took every word that rolled off your forked tongue like venom,
and turned it into poetry.

Where do the pieces
That once made up a whole, steadily beating heart
That have now been torn
Vein from vein,
Vessel from vessel,
Artery from artery, go?

I often find myself picking up these broken pieces,
sometimes unable to find some missing parts
I often also find myself stitching the pieces back together,
Hoping that, somehow, if my poor heart
became close to the entity it once was,
It would begin to beat once again.
I found the missing part of my dull heart,
I found it still stuck to yours.

From then on,
my heart learned to beat half alive, when it realized it would never retrieve its missing part again.

                     You are a Thief, but part of me will always be yours nevertheless.

His ego made him
immune
to the feeling of
guilt
you broke my heart, but your confidence made you blind to my pain.

When he found another piece
to complete his greedy heart,
every piece of mine fell apart.
