did I break your heart in to
I'll buy you a broom
help you sweep the shards up
but I won't assist in
gluing the pieces back together

that's the way I am
I guess:
I will love you
until I realize
that you love me
--then you're on
your own.

Fingertips to lips
legs tangled together;
uncertainty coats your eyelashes.

Little kisses on the nose
forehead, chin;
we know what's coming next.

Your face is buried in
the nape of my neck;
we are cheek to cheek.

I align my nose with yours
our lips centimeters apart

                             Breathe
                   deeply

one...
                           two...
                                                    three

Pull away
           eyes open

                        smile at
                                  perfection.

I'll dream of his lips tonight,
the way his skin touched mine,
I'll remember all the little things--
our fingers intertwined.

His smile is for sale right now
(has been for half the day)
though used so much for someone else
it's bound to be thrown away.

I'll dream of his lips tonight,
the softness of his cheek,
how love became a bitter taste
in just less than a week.

And if I choose to die,
then Darling, kiss my name
goodbye;
do not deny
the grave that pulls me
down.

Keep me warm
until I'm swallowed away
and the world turns gray
--then RUN!
Head to somewhere underground
Oh God, I hope you won't be found
and let your warmth invade
the cave
before it dies
before it dies;
and make a home for
your head to rest
--I know it's not the best,
my love,
but it will all be over soon
just keep your mind
on me and you
on me and you,
under rain and bitter skies
--you can't deny
we tried, we tried
with angels in the sky
and with tears in their eyes
we fell
--and now this place is nothing but a
living hell.

So SWEETHEART.
I am so SORRY for PUSHING you a-WAY
from me,
I swear I didn't mean to.
I swear my love still rings true
but God I couldn't survive
the lies I put myself through,
they were TORTURE
and no one needs to see
how I can be,
they don't need to see me bleed
in suffering,
especially not you
my dear,
my dear...

So look up in to the rain
as it silently meets your face
and discards each tear
down the drain;
let it pull you
up in its embrace,
keep you from seeing my escape
as you hold the weather close
to your chest
--it's for the best

it's for the best.

Her wingspan is
a mystery
lost and forgotten
information;

he holds her too close
to even let them
flutter.

they appear more frequently
now:
your sad eyes
and I seem to be
the cause
more and more often
God, how have I kept
you this long
even with pierced
fingernails
circling your neck
and chains weighing
my palm down
to the ground
farther and farther away
from your tears
how are you still
mine?
Haley Rezac Aug 2013
You won't look at me at first
so the tears aren't real until I see
the moistness of your cheeks

It was my fault again
but instead of you gripping me tight
with worry
you are really
truly
hurt
by my actions

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

I only hope you feel the remorse in
my kisses
                   my touch
                                     my voice
I hope you know that if love were liquid
I would send you an ocean
and I would not stop giving
until every drop is gone
with the world thirsty
and you content.
