22 May 2012

Heart splitting in two,

Stealing away memories of you.

Toss over the pain,

Give me the blame.

It was my fault you went,

Leaving my heart out to rent.

Yell at me not to grieve,

Brush salt away as you leave.

But your ghost is in the room,

Onwards, the inky branches loom.

Fingers letting go,

Tears never show.

Entwined once; now gone.

The sharp agony shone,

In the stark white moonlight.

The stars reflecting my plight.

I walk away from the pier,

Turn my back on all the fear.

Tear my shadow from my feet,

The one world that we'd meet.

We should never have met,

Caught ourselves in the net.

Fighting to be free,

You and me.
