The shit we do when we love someone

Folder: 
2016

I love laughing

about the shit we say

when we love someone.

 

The times she said

sorry

for you

outweigh all the times

you said you loved her

 

I love reminiscing

about the shit we do

when we love someone.

 

Tear ourselves apart with

shards of glass,

forget how to breathe,

throw ourselves off cliffs,

sew ourselves back together

too many times

 

But honestly I’m

regretting it,

as always

 

We’re feeding ourselves

on halfhearted compliments

and broken vases

left behind

 

and I stand here and watch

as she breaks down.

 

And the shit we do

when we love someone

can only be buried

behind whispers and window glass

and desperate hopes

because she can’t hide behind you anymore.


She has to face herself.

I'm impressed

I've read quite a few of your writings, and I must say, the way you blend love with agony, the pure with the bittersweet. All I can say is Wow!
It's like a gut punch, knee jerk reaction from dying in pain to thriving in passion. You reel us in with tidings oh so sweet, then leave us dangling on the precipice, just before letting us slip, begin the fall, then pull us back up again.


Shards of glass shred broken dreams
As heartstrings sever at the seams
Whatever life and love may mean
There's always something in between


Let shadows fade and stars collide
Find solace in the dark of night
Face fear and stare into the light
While pain of love is burning bright


Take me out of this dimension
So I can show my true intentions
Leave silent things we need not mention
Be hollow, still, and left defenseless


Take away the tragedy
A glance, a touch, the remedy
The heart becomes the enemy
When broken by such sweet defeat
