Words of forever start to lose meaning
Shatter does ardor that once reached the moon
The shards slice my skin, ripping and tearing
My love for you, it bleeds out of the wound
Your laugh, an impress to make my heart race
Now painful and grating against my ears
Uncomfortable, now, is your embrace
Where once I found refuge and shed my tears
You came to me, worn, desperate and searching
For a last trace of love that could remain
We break apart, chest heaving, heart lurching
Wet apologies of searches in vain
So when the pretense, the pain gets too much
When doorknobs turn, I'll just stand by and watch

Wet apologies of searches in vain
So when the pretense, the pain gets too much
When doorknobs turn, I'll just stand by and watch
A poem I had to write for school last year about falling out of love.
