I'm shattered To be selfless To be respectful To give you freedom I've shattered us. This tearing pain Rips my heart to shreds And the child inside me yells to bring you back But I can't. These fingers clutched Too tight for too long No matter how painful and wrong this seems It's needed. I love you as the ocean loves to move With a depth that seeps into my bones because you are pure magic bliss and love. Why must my heart want to wander so?! To keep you and my integrity too Is a battle already lost We both know you deserve full complete love And my being stutters at the idea of forever because somewhere, threads of discovery are calling And to not heed them would be lying. But, I'm still trying To figure out why my heart is telling me to lose you when losing you feels like dying.
