Heart Asunder... Thoughts Askew...

I said I’ve moved on but maybe I haven’t

All the days from our past replay in my head when

I’m out in the world… or sheltered at home…

My feeling were real… this you had known…

But you broke me down with no second thought

It’s no wonder it's us who had never fought

My passionate kisses, your intimate touch

Make my days hard to live, but live I must

So as a heart falls asunder, thoughts fell askew

And all that I had was all that made you…

 

Yet between the silences my heart awoke

My placid mind forms rhetorical questions

To determine the meaning of the words we spoke

 

“…I love you…”

 

From you such a desired announcement

Fell flat like the plane of reality

When thrown against the intangibility of the unknown…

 

…and yet..

“I really loved you”

 

So as I gave my heart to you more with each passing day

You picked at it just to throw pieces away…

Now the pain I feel is more immense than you know

Sincea as each day goes by, I wish my memories would go…

 

“…but the pain is a reminder that I’m alive”

 

Because since that fateful day

You’d never guess I’d think I’m dead

As the incapacitating truth hit my heart…

…My nerve endings burnt out…

And my heart gave in to despair…

 

“But I Believe That You Will Be Fine”

 

Just as I believed that we’d work

But as I was once told the truth does hurt…

Accepting things the way they are is the only remedy

To redeem a lost soul from the emaciating pain

 

“…I miss you…”

 

Well if you did as you say you do

You’d seek me out…

And notice that the person I’ve become

Isn’t a person at all…

I’m a shade… no the Miasma…

Left from the dark in my heart

And the light of my love has disappeared…

 

“… You’ve Been In My Dreams…”

 

Do you know why?

Because I sure did…

The feelings I had

Weren’t that of a kid...

I loved you

And did what I did to prove it

But then again…

Girls want Men..

Not growing kids…

So the loss of me…

Will resound in your heart…

………

While you have your light…

I have my dark…

………
