Droplets leave the corners of my eyes
Scaring my cheeks with salty salvation
They drop to the ground to burn away at the earth

I’m crying again
This time like the many others
I cant breathe, my eyes swell, and I’m nauseas

I cannot live without you as mine
But at times all I want to do is let you go
It shatters my heart into mismatched pieces that wont fit together

A piece of you fits with a piece of me
But a piece of me wont fit with you
Fighting a battle to finish the puzzle

My heart lies there on the marble floor
Scattered and seizing around
Like a fish out of water

My throat closes
All but one piece is together
And I’m lost in confusion

Where is the last piece
Where is the last piece of me
Where did it go

My heart neatly goes back to beating
And proceeds to rewire in my chest
Strolling along to the monotonous hums of day to day life

I stand there in awe
I don’t understand what is going on
How could something run perfectly fine with a piece missing

I stand on the cold marble and unbutton your shirt
I put my hands over your chest to feel the beat
I feel the outline

My piece integrating into yours
Into my hand pops a little piece
A piece of you to replace the missing piece of me

I guess a piece was missing after all
But isn’t that was love really is anyways.

It sits on the counter
Looking at me with a seductive grin
Dying to tell me the stories it holds

The romance that it was in the middle of
The secrets it held
And the lies it told

All for love
It sits here on my counter
With its dust wiped off

I don’t know what to do with it
It wont open any doors for me
As it did for those once young lovers

The young lovers
Torn apart from a nasty war
The only thing keeping their romance

Was this old skeleton key
To their secret hide away
Where they both lost themselves and became one

Years later I end up with this old key
That holds its secrets so tight
And wont unlock anything for me

It mocks my wondering curiosity
And laughs at my attempts to unlock
The secrets it holds

It sits on a string now
I wear it close to my heart
As the young girl once did

The key to the only thing
That made her life worth living
Until the deadly day they were separated forever

I feel their love
I feel the pain
I feel it all through this old metal key

I lay here letting the emotions fill my mind
I’m tired of battling them through out the day
I lay here with my eyes closed letting them consume me

Sadness eats at my heart
like a vulcher picking at a carcass of a lost traveler
attacking it, till its useless beating stop

anger pierces my brain
bleeding out all logistics
causing nothing but hatred for the pain

loneliness, takes over my lungs
suffocating them in isolation
as if I’m drowning in low tide

I feel defeated once again
For letting these emotions drag me down
Bringing me to that place

The dark cold place of fear
The empty space in your mind
Where only hysteria exists

I’m sad without you
Without your hand to take me through life
Without you seeing me progress through life
Unable to see that I am making you proud

I’m angry you left me
No father at graduation
A silhouette of my lonely figure down the wedding isle

I’m lonely
Lost without your love and kind heart
Lost with out your arms and care

The emotions beating me up
Causing only fear for its permanence
I wonder if you feel them too

I close my eyes and my ears,
only to have society’s thoughts wash down my eyelids
with its words trying to penetrate my mouth

Silence in my ears to clear my thoughts and heart
To edit and revise my emotions
And leave me speechless

The quite sounds erupt my eardrums
Like the hearts of first time lovers
To the passion of adult hood

Naïve fingertips
Young lips
Smooth touch of something new

Forgiveness seeps into my veins
And rushes to my mouth
Only to taste so bitter sweet

Lust drips off my eyelashes
To fall to the ground
Misused and un appreciated

Anger violates my skin
And rashes it with violence
And scars my arms with defeat

Sadness runs down my throat
Salt burn away at my insides
Breaking me down from the inside

All of this going on at once
To cause myself to become lost
In who you are

To begin to form one
All at once
And begin something that is completely different
