Layers Of My Heart
Poem of the burning pieces
Layers of my heart
just fade away so slowly.
Layer after layer after layer
fades when the mind turns dark.
Each layer fades away
as the burn strengthens
and the distance between us
stretch to the unknown.
The sobbing layers teleport
into the deep, dark pit.
There is no return.
There is only emptiness
that you have given me.
The greater your distance,
the weaker my heart,
yet the weaker my heart,
the stronger my love for you.
You make me utterly fragile
as the layers of my heart fade.
The stretch is more painful than a blade,
but I feel nothing in the darkness.
Layers of my heart
just fade away so slowly.
Layer after layer after layer
fades when the mind turns dark.
