The trembling of my hands And the stillness of yours Always worried me. I swear my heart cracked Every time you said something You weren't so sure of. The crevices only grew larger With every missed glance And empty promise, Losing myself along with them piece by piece. You started causing Small earthquakes in my chest Making me question If I was strong enoughΒ For not only the both of us, But for myself. I got lost somewhere in between Our midnight phone calls and Shared cigarettes in the afternoons. You made me forget I was Building walls for protection, Letting you subconsciously break them down Without my knowing. The endless storms in my head And the disasters in my soul Have become too much-- You brought the final quake That broke my heart When you spoke during what would have been A perfect moment And all I heard Was carelessness.Β It's not that I wasn't expecting this, I suppose I just irrationally delayed preparation In hopes of your seismic words Impossibly leaving a positive impact.
