english poetry

Break my heart


Break my heart
destroy my soul
and
leave me crying
i’d still love you
and
i won’t expect you to
love me in return …

I am

I am the condensation on the window pane of your affections

somewhat significant-but easily wiped away by the palm of your hand

when there are things you don’t want to see-things you don’t want to have to feel

things you are afraid to face

I am the reflection on the mirror of your heart-throw rocks at me and shatter your reality

scattered slivers that make you bleed and forget about your dreams, make you doubt what you’ve always wanted to believe

I am the tears that won’t fall from your dry eyes, too much pain-you’ve already tried

and if I can’t make you whole, make you feel, then who will?

you hide in the shadows, afraid of living life in the light and your fears deep inside push me away

don’t have to deal if i’m not there *poof* I disappear

out of mind and out of sight

the steadfast patience of my love, wills me to balance here-out on this weathered limb

waiting and hoping that just once, you will truly let me in
