Breathlessly Broken
I asked,
you answered
i heard
disbelieving at first
not now you said
and so not now it will be.
come back.....maybe
come back....we'll see
come back eventually......
...the curtain...is it closed?
will it open?
will i see you?
will you see me?
was it real?
or make believe?
am i awake?
or am i dreaming?
you silence most painful,
cutting through like salted ice through my flesh.
no im lost,
blind in the dark.
deaf to the train wailing to move.
im hit
but im not dead
wounded,
alive
but in sorrowful regret
what would it have been.
why couldnt i be
the same you were for me?
what made your heart stray
takin away
from a path
i knew the way.
now ive tripped
ive fallen
you've taken the rains
head toward your callin
i have nowhere to go
no were to find
nowhere to knoe
nothing to do
but to lie here and...
die
death,
would it hurt this bad?
does it sting like this?
this twisted kiss
is it made to do this?
what happened
to you
to me
to us
can you see?
i cant see.
the darkness overwhelms me
its closing
no way out
no way through
no path to follow any more.
im off the track
heading for a cliff
i fall
i lose it all
all gone
turned to dust.
agony and pain, but numb
what to do,
what to think
im so up set,
im on the brink
im almost extinked
drowning
frowning
about to die
was it a lie?
i look up,
what do i see?
my fated death, smiling down on me.
life unlived,
but what lived, not life.
strife
here comes the pitch
it hits the glove
strike three im out
and now no more love
the croud cheers
but because i am leaving
not to be seen
consumed by loved
and love consumes me
im eaten in a hungry frenzy
strike three,
game over,
go home.
but no home to go to
no comfort
im stuck in my night mare
no one to wake me up
no way out
pain and suffering with no release
addicted to a pain that is love
love is a pain, and im captured by it
love is the nicatine that life has,but its effects are far worse
i miss the kiss
i miss her touch
her ear listening to my heart beat
the slow strong beat
of my beaten heart
beaten and broken
remade and still broke
piece by piece
falling apart
dying
crying
never new again
broken
