I let you in and gave you the keys to my heart, freedom to roam around and see everything.
You tore it to shreds, made a mess out of the place and left.
Now I’m stuck here picking up the pieces of this shattered home and all it wants is for you to come back.
Willing to forgive and pretend that nothing happened, it will hide the scars that you left and ignore all the pain.
How pathetic it is, not being able to let go when you clearly have.
How it aches for you, and would give everything for you.
It saddens me to see it in so much pain, but it doesn’t seem to affect you in anyway.
Broken, it still beats for you, wishes for you on the first star of every night, at ever 11:11, in every well.
How it prays that you will realize what you left behind.  
The heart wants what it wants, and there is nothing I can do to change that for better or for worse.

It's Always Been You
Triston Wisdom Jan 2017
From day one I knew that I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life, and all the other ones that would follow. Until the end of time, I wanted us to be together, side by side.
The way we clicked, the way we made each other feel,
I knew it was meant to be.
I started falling in love with you that faithful weekend, that chance encounter, and I haven't stopped yet. Nowhere near reaching the bottom. Day after day, I keep falling, faster and faster, my speed never slowing. Falling for you and everything about you.
You are my Wonder Woman, My Goddess of The Moon, Music, Poetry, and Books. That crazy animal lady that I can't see myself without. My Soul Mate. You, my dear, are so much more than I - or anyone else for that matter - can put into words or works of art because you already are one. A tragic beauty, a masterpiece crafted by God Himself.
I am blessed to have you in my life, to have held a work of art in my arms and called it my own. I don't want this great thing to end yet, it would be like watching the sunset right after dawn.

Heart
Triston Wisdom Dec 2015
I know that I loved you too much, and showed you it too little. I always tried to give you everything, but I never stopped and asked if you wanted it. Taking you for granted was not something I meant to do, but it happened anyway and it took me losing you to realize what I had done. It took only one conversation, that only Fate could have managed to spark, to lead to me giving you the key to my heart, and I remember it like it was yesterday. By the end of the weekend I allowed you in and gave you free roam inside it. It was messy back then, I was young and you, you are so beautiful, and it had been a long time since I allowed anyone in there and it was the first time I let anyone roam free. No matter what you say I will always blame myself at least a little, even on good days, for everything that happened. When I listed off the things that I knew when my world had been shaken up and turned upside down I let one thing off, and that was you, that I still wanted you. As the old saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, from me to you that is true, I just hope that from you to me it is too. For now you will do you, and I will do me. In the moments that you are gone, I have to learn to live without you again. I’m going to try and become a better person, learn from my mistakes so I can become a better friend and lover. If somewhere down the road we get back together that would be magnificent, beyond that if in the end we end up together that too would be beautiful. Just don't forget I let you keep that key for a reason, and if you think you lost or misplaced it don't worry, I left it unlocked for you. I will be there to greet you with open arms.

— The End —
