Now What?

by theweightofitall

You stood there alone Broken heart clutched in your hand Everything you knew shattered on the floor before you You scanned the room You looked at me helplessly Now what? So I took your hand and off we went. That was the summer that I learned you. Your heart, Your mind, And their constant battles. But little by little, Your broken pieces slid back together. And I had never been so reckless, As to cut myself on them as they did. You were a part of me now. I blame it on the music. The way we fell in love, It was to the beat of our own drum. It was the way you looked at me When our part of the song played. Or how we danced in our classroom kingdom. And kissed all of our own rules goodbye As we naively and boldly, Kissed the familiar passion Hello. Then I blinked And I could've sworn that you'd be here when I opened my eyes But life doesn't work like that Time doesn't work like that. And now you're gone. Broken heart clutched in my hand And I'm standing here alone Everything I knew is shattered on the floor before me Now what?
