When someone
is reckless with
your heart
and it breaks and it shatters
in ways
you never thought it could,
you have known
only one type
of heartbreak.

The second
lies when you
are reckless
with another's heart
because you'll never
know pain
like the type when
you look into their eyes
but they
look away.

And the third
is the worst kind
that comes along
when you have to watch
the person you love
be happy
with another.

Rip currents.
They pull and tear
your life away.
They're stronger than we are,
and much, much more dangerous.
Drowning has never
been so easy,
I'm afraid.

I thought I would love you
from the days we were young
to the days we were old
and our hearts were unstrung.

I guess that I was wrong yet again.

We say goodbye
early in the morning.

It seems we cannot sleep
without a gentle goodbye.

We tell each other to sleep well
though the sun is coming over the horizon.

We'll be sleeping until late in the afternoon.

And then,
we'll meet again
until early morning.

I don't know
how I feel.

It's hard
to put a label
on what
I don't know.

So, I'll remain here
sitting
contemplating
and
crying

all over you.

Dig your nails into my skin and pull apart my flesh
Pick me into pieces and shred my every breath
Beat my blood like morning eggs and take your rightful pound
Spin my head and shake my legs but I won't make a sound
