To keep an untold story
within this very soul
heart breaking pain
cracking through ribs
                                    ribs
                  ­                       ribs

At once such lovely bones
which crumble
                         crumble
                                       crumble

Second chance a delicacy
placing those candles
petrol fuel to a fire raging
                                          raging
        ­                                             raging

When I write love
there is a reason
the four letter words
become only three
                               three
                                        three

A four letter word
a heart replacing
an empty o
                      o
                          o

Hold­ing the letter
my heart not yours
you don't release
this fear
              fear
                     fear

I say I miss you
you say you
miss me
               me
                    me

Vulnerable fragile
bones break
                    break
                              br­eak

Resist temptation
only peace is
my love
               love
                       love.
