Because breaking my heart wasn't enough
She has to make sure it won't be fixed again
By adding more to the pain
Through replacing me that easily
And forgetting me completely

"It is not our place
to mend someone's
shattered heart

but rather,

run our fingers
down every last
fracture and love
like it never
shattered at all."

How am I supposed to start a new year without you

You are the sky
While I'm of dirt and earth
Sharing the universe in separate realms
Conflicting factions, diverse births

I would forever look up
Rest my gaze on the tide of the air
And dream for our eyes to meet
Temporary eternity that we would share

I've cried many a teardrop
But you can never know
Because to you they never could reach
For into my core they'd only flow

But when you stare down sullenly
Your tears would fall, soaking my plane
I'd drink the drops voraciously
Those gifts of love from heaven's rain

Your tears would nurture the seeds I've planted
They'd take root and flourish in the sun
Resolve in my soil held firmly in place
Thinking our journey forth would've then begun

Roots would give birth to stem
Which in turn, would branch out into leaves
Plantling will eventually grow up high
To give back the love, it constantly receives

Such misfortune little sprout
You can only grow so tall
You can never reach that far
You and I can only kiss the drops that fall

So... My beautiful sky of azure
I am but dust on fate's heavy feet
We can only look to the faraway horizon
Only there could heaven and earth truly meet

I've met people
without arms
or feet
or eyes
or teeth
but then i met you
and saw something worse.
i never would have thought
you'd be someone,
without a heart
