surrendered.

She is afraid.

Afraid to breath life into the thoughts

that swells, boils, and

overflows the deep depths

of her mental.

The hurt,

the confusion,

the love,

all comes out as one.

 

Tears.

Tears fall as what she thought were

just paranoid fears, have

taken a life of there own.

Teasing and taunting,

laughing at her sorrow.

Today has her heart throbbing

but wait until tomorrow.

 

When she looks into the mirror,

now staring her in the face of 一

depression or truth?

She can't decide.

She stayed silent as she allowed

whoever the presence

may be to invade my mind.

Planting her seeds,

her words acted as the water

they needed to grow.

Which would be a greater loss,

heart or mind?

 

It seems as soon as the girl fixed her lips

to allow her heart to speak,

and express the love she possesses for him

a few days later her heart

aches for the same reason.

As she thinks of the things

she unfortunately failed to communicate.

 

Though she now knows it

wouldn't have made much of a difference,

his decision was clear.

And I don't know what hurt more,

knowing that the thought of begging him

to stay was not enough to save the love

she was willing to fight for or the reality of it all.

 

Or maybe it was realizing that

the love he had for another was the love she was beginning to grow for him.

How scary to know you love

someone more than they do you.

He may refuse to accept it,

but there's no way he would ever

truly know how pivotal of a

role he played in her life.

 

It was real for her.

She never had something

so complex, yet easy.

Loving him was easy —

Smooth.

As natural as taking a breath,

as effortless as the breeze.

Would even compare it

to an everlasting high.

 

After landing face first from

falling through cloud number nine,

the girl placed her hand over her chest

to feel nothing inside.

Covered in armor,

decorated with battle scars.

 

Shifting her eyes downward

to her pulsating feet,

She is standing upon my heart.

She has surrendered.

Fell to her knees waving the flag of defeat.

Carving the initials of

her heart's captor into

her skin.
