dilapidated,
your smile hangs crookedly
like a broken arm
no matter how shattered some things become, they are still persistent in existence.
Awnaeji Mar 27
I told my soul to rest to let your absence be
But why this constant falling make this soul's insanity
Each glimpse, a bitter nectar a joy that cuts like pain
How do I unweave this feeling?

This feeling of consuming chain
I've waited through the silence
Where dreams have turned to gray
Now I'm steeped in blue, where longing holds its sway.
I want to burry this kind of feeling and just move on. But how? How can I unloved someone I have loved for so long?

A Silent Broken Promise.

I promise you a better life,
One better then mine,
I promise you will have no strife,
To have room to shine.

I promise you a tomorrow,
Without sadness and sorrow,
I promise you my trust,
And I promise i've got no disgust.

I promise you a love,
Even if I should of,
I promise to protect you,
And through bad times to hold you.
*
But most of all,
I promise I wont let you fall,
I promise I will always be there,
And that I promise and i swear.

As broken clocks show the right time
Only twice a day
So does my heart
Beats twice a year

This hollow *****
Fathoms the grip of love
To capture its seldom
It hides in a cove

What have I become
To run
From the music of the sun
And the joy from the drum

Why do I cower
Try to find cover
Hide with great measure
From something that is not unnatural to me

A few beats left
Only a few beats left
Will it stop
Maybe I won't love again

Perhaps I shouldn't love again
It's beautiful yes
But the higher you go
The harder you fall

I may have fallen at my hardest
I know not how to stand
I know not how to weep
I know now how to move
I'm not really sure how this one goes, I wrote it when I had a heartache

on  display in a glass box my heart beats
showing nothing but pure intentions.
a person approaches looking at my heart
admiring, watching, waiting.
studying, listening, stalking.
what makes it race?
what makes it calm?
you leave.
return
come back please
i see you again this time with a bag
my heart races just seeing you
what could be in the bag?
roses, candy, wine?
perfume, stuffed animal, a ring?
as you unzip the bag the glass box starts sinking into the floor.
my whole heart out in the open for you
beating loudly to show you how much i love you
the box stops.
the heart keeps racing but this time in fear.
hammer and nails.
the box tries to cover the heart as fast as it can
but remember... its made of glass
smash! smash! smash!
my box my wall destroyed
my heart next
thump one nail thump two nails thump thump thump
my heart shattered
barley beating
content with the work
you leave
I'm left alone
iron walls come up
thread trying to put my heart back together
faint but there my heart beats
a person approaches
her Mar 24
A whispered goodbye, a fleeting embrace,
A silent tear traced on a pale, soft face.
He left her with echoes, a hollow, cold sound,
A bleeding heart, where love once was crowned.

The world grew dim, a canvas of gray,
Her laughter silenced, gone astray.
His absence a chasm, a void so profound,
Tears welled up, a torrent unbound.

Each whispered memory, a painful refrain,
Of stolen moments, now lost in the rain.
His touch, a phantom, a ghost in the night,
Leaving her broken, with all her heart's light.

The fragile petals, once vibrant and bright,
Now drooped and withered, consumed by the fight
Against the cruel truth, the bitter despair,
A love lost forever, beyond compare.

He left her alone, with a heart torn apart,
With tears in her eyes, and a broken heart.
A silent surrender, a whispered adieu,
Leaving her wounded, forever anew.

Shriveled-up gum,
Stretched rubber,
Strains of love...

A plucked thread at one end,
I'm the only one weaving our way.
But it keeps knotting up.
Yet despite the torn apart bond,
I'll be the one dragging it out.
Feeling of the inability to let go a relation even though the other side of that connection has already been left.

"let someone in" their voice rang though my head.
flashbacks of how my soul died replayed over and over and over again through the fog of my memory.
they meant it so innocently, but he was so innocent when I let him in.
my arms were wide open, I told him to make himself comfortable when he entered the depths of my heart.
and god, did he.
his shoes were muddy but I didn't even notice, his smile distracting me.
he opened my books on the shelf of memories, leaving them scattered all over the place.... his smooth beautiful lies consuming my mind to a point where I didn't care what he did.
I let him trapse through my deepest secrets, my most intense thoughts, while he sat there and smiled saying how he loved me.
why did I have to believe him?
he laced his words with so much truth it made my head spin,
he was bringing parts of me alive that had died so many years ago and I thought he'd stay.... but I also thought he loved me.
but before I could even blink he had ran out the door.
the door which used to have a wall built around it with a lock.
a wall that he broke down, and lock he somehow managed to get through.  
he was a storm that had ripped through my whole being, leaving me even more damaged than before.
but it's okay.... I'll just 'let someone in' again.
Do they not see how much you destroyed me?....

I saw your eyes for me
but I still feel the pain inside hurting me without you
But your eyes smiled are shattered me inside going back to love you
You are beautiful face and love that I have and already claim to my heart

I saw your face and your eyes already saying goodbye on my heart
I didn’t know that is the last time to see you again
I didn’t know that you leaving me this way
I didn’t know it means you leave me

It’s shattering me away from the breath
Those hopes are broken wen you said I do from breaking up
I lost the love and forgetting about sweetness memories now I can’t turn back
The heart is like a stone
Locking the doors from tears to grief

I’m still holding on but it’s broken
In my hands are shattered glasses and keeps blooded
I’m still waiting but now it’s empty
We are fall and crashing away can’t be back again
I can’t going back again it’s been shattered ****** beautiful inside

I carry and have the scars from painful weeps
This tears dragging down and telling me to get away
Your words makes me fall in-love before but now it’s Scattered wen you said many farewells

The love is there but it’s fly away

We can stay but there’s always a reason to say goodbye
We are still here and you are there but it’s shattered.

Heard a song of broken halos,
folded wings that used to fly.
Wondered why I go where I go.
Yeah, broken halos as miles went by.

Angels used to come and teach me,
now they’ve gone another way.
Don’t blame them, I told them they should
find another soul to save.

Stared at the darkness and let my mind go,
it took me places I used to shine.
The song kept playing – broken halos.
Yeah, broken halos and this one’s mine.

Don’t go looking for the reasons.
Don’t go asking Jesus why.
Some folded wings don’t have a reason.
Somehow, they lost the will to fly.

I’ve seen my share of broken halos,
tried to mend some. I’ve tried to give.
I never thought someday I’d join them.
I guess it happens in the lives we live.

I drove in silence for long time,
thought of the angels in the grand sublime.
Wondered if they’d ever fallen…
Broken halos that used to shine.
Yeah, broken halos and this one’s mine.
