"Separate Hearts"



The day drinks into night
Sitting in silence
My thoughts cascade within
Pieces of a puzzle now connected
Memories speak
And I listen to the dull roar
Moments tumble together
Forever...
All...
And always...
Words I have used on all the wrong faces
With a million things a heart can hold
Who knew love would be the hardest to embrace
Yet I try...
The most important part
Picking yourself up after a fall
Pushing on
Learning from it all
Forgetting...
Forgiving yourself...
Learning
Love is more than two arms holding you tight
And should not be compromised
Its a firm reminder told
I should not lose a little piece of me every time I fall in love
I am worth more than this
We owe it to ourselves to see it through
To let things run its course
Honor the beginning
And respect the time to end
Because no matter how much is paid in emotion
Not all actions can rescue something already done
Especially when I am on a path you are not brave enough to walk with me.

"Last Moment Given"



My thoughts stretch out to the infinite
Possibilities unknown...
For no one has given me a line to follow
Or speak of some rule that now has been broken
My heart replays the last words spoken
My ears cling to every syllable
Wondering through the uncertainty
Embracing what came to be, now a use-to-be...
A shinning new...
Now barely known
Nothing understood
Ripped away by the changing of time
Or mind...
Choices and actions
None of which are my own
I even lack the respect given to be informed
I am at a loss...
No fork in the road
Misty fog of paltry pieces remain
Barely even considered crumbs
My hands reach out
Coming up empty
The worth of something so tender is now known
And clearly weighted
Some rational thoughts flee
The mind folds back upon itself
To the last moment given
Trying to feel the last interaction with my senses
Seeking the last shred of warmth in this cold abandonment
The smile once bright, now fades
Tears erode away the freshly built
Calling to ruin what my heart had come to know
Relief is not found...
For it still exists within a time not seen
Or yet to come...
Bringing forth yet another thing I must wait for...
