forgotten love.. almost as if it were abandoned
what was once flames burning bright is now cloudy skies and no sun light.

i was once a whole.
but now i am not broken.. but cracked.

within those cracks.. flowers grew because i learned to love myself more and more
but then you happened and all of a sudden it burned in my core.

roots grew in place of flowers,
rain began and the sun grew dimmer and dimmer as each day passed and you retained that power

my heart grew cold and before you knew it..
there was a steel wall.

guarded heart, almost like a safe.
protected from all the ravage things.

but i could never grow that way, because when you keep your heart in a cage it never can truly learn to love.. all it can do is decay.
