heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
Desperation. Content Warning.
She cries out loud for restitution as she calls out His name. Rather it be in anger, disgust, or sadness. Broken promises, faulty actions, and false words have only led to heartbreak. Nothing but tears out of despite of anger and hurt.

Down the Aisle
I look at you down the aisle and I feel the blood drain from my face as it turns into hands that wrap around my chest while collecting into pools in my throat. I hope I don’t have to say anything. You’re draped in white and yellow, anything bright enough to shield you from the harsh colors of reality. Your light always complimented my dark, somehow leaving me warm, but exposed and burnt. I showed you exactly how each knife entered my back, some of the wounds still stitched and bloody, and you never once looked away. You embraced me, not like a victim but like a warrior, explaining how I have never battled a fair fight. I didn’t want you to see me. Our lives were never reflections but we learned from one another. Your room smells like nail polish and vanilla candles while mine is all smoke stained walls and ash covered side tables. We were never meant to last. I fumble to find my feet as I turn around before you lift your head. Part of me wants our eyes to meet, for you to be flooded with flashbacks of me, but I think ultimately it’s better for you to forget. I want you to never look back and wonder what could’ve been because I know in my heart you’ll find better.

~This Old Heart Of Mine!~
~ This Old Heart Of Mine!~ (2nd poem honoring the memory of life and legacy of the actor Heath Ledger, whom I was supposed to meet in Alberta but something happened to get in the way of that event! I never go a day wondering if Brad Pitt, Angie and I would all be thinking IF YOU 2 HAD MET would he STILL BE ALIVE Today? And that's when I came to realize and understand that living to be alive in the world means something different to everyone in this world. And I wanted to write something that shared how I have come to understand it, and how that makes his life force mean that he is with me always, so there is no more need to mourn, or feel sorrow and too much sadness! To reach him I just have to FEEL what he tells my heart and mind when I'm writing and/or just thinking of him! And having bought a Knight in honor of that representation of SHIELD of ARMOUR, I need only look at that to FEEL the affects of the Armour and the relationship that LIVES ON just like the representation of how long the Knight I bought will last and stand on guard for the both of us and everyone touched by his life and his movies!) From that I was recently finally able to finish the following poem! I hope you Enjoy it! :-)
