My ****** heart runs deep Pulsating rivers in my veins that once nourished me before you came and soaked up every drop with nothing left to reap while the flak of your memory still remains.
The day we met, Temperate winds cradled leaves fresh from their vines, unseasoned by nature’s trials. Today, they lie crumbled among debris broken wilted pieces in scattered piles.
Carefree days that had no price Oh how you yearned to woe me Companion nights; they did suffice Until troubled longing riled the sea
Did you sense the suspense? Naked under the burrow Of sullen sheets enveloped in scents, stale and past
You: my daring knight of chivalry Whose promise did not last and so the wind said unto thee, “set me free.”
Morning tastes dewy tears trickling into memories we hoped to never speak again Shifting through the seasons the beginning of the end
I willed my seeds to grow through the disdained soil they’ve rooted in. Leaving them grimy rot staked in solace Feelings left dead sprout a calm that quickly frames trust What purpose serves a creation left abandoned in the dust? Hear it. Speak it. See it as it comes. In dreams they lay tiles under trodden feet. Steps that cannot be taken up again and so commends your defeat.
One day, in autumn or is it spring? The anxious blossoms danced away in the wind. You swept them up with swinging arms Urging every pedal to descend From weeping barren trees foiled from your charm Words back then took form in a man Working a path inside a woman’s heart Mapping her wishes into works of art
Now lie down upon this mold of every simple broken thing you ever tried to fix It isn’t worth the truth you sold To quell your nature with docility that shields arrogance with bricks.
When you returned sullied by days of wandering Through decay and rotten secrets I laid my head to rest in the crook of your neck Sheltered by my need, unseen by your gaze This moment of clarity, I locked inside my ****** heart where it will rot and die through the passing days.
