my hand seem steady now filled with dark earth that i toss reluctantly  into the grave you dug for my heart. i see it its last pulsations almost as if it found its epiphany in the deep shadows where you once found me with your smile.  the cold february air wraps it with an essential numbness as it drifts off to a silence as loud as the anguished howl in my perseverant brain. i mourn for my heart slipping from your shaky grip. strange how strong inertia feels when you hit bottom,  the sound of sadness is unbearable.

letting go
my hand seem steady now filled with dark earth that i toss reluctantly  into the grave you dug for my heart. i see it its last pulsations almost as if it found its epiphany in the deep shadows where you once found me with your smile.  the cold february air wraps it with an essential numbness as it drifts off to a silence as loud as the anguished howl in my perseverant brain. i mourn for my heart slipping from your shaky grip. strange how strong inertia feels when you hit bottom,  the sound of sadness is unbearable.
