Love often
sits on a fence
in this Humpty-Dumpty world
leaning towards
falling far another
or simply tumbling into
the pain of loneliness.
As your heart collapses
simply a balloon deflating
into a shriveled,
empty, pink mass
an empty,
shriveled pink mass...
I was that dizzy
top of the world guy,
when she first
breathed "Hello"
tinged with a smile
brighter than a horizontal
fingernail moon,
Kisses like white chocolate
melted on our lips
nothing sweeter
was ever known
we danced
through the days
and snuggled thru nights
Siamese twins
joined by passion
Till one who was intent
on disrupting my gravity
pushed hard at seperating me
from the wonder of her eyes
he swept her off her feet
offering her materialistic things
i was unable to do at the time.
Till she was caught
up in a world of
tickets, fine dining
fancy cars and
money talking
when love
becomes abandoned
for greed it takes
on a cheap sadness
and i was left
by the other
side of the wall
she erected to shield herself
from the pain of my eyes
somewhere back in time
there lie the pieces of just
the shells of what was
somewhere back in time
there lie the pieces
of just the shells
of what was
but in the puddl;es
that have long since dried
both of tears and of
the essence of a
perfect love broken.
There lies a sunny side up
version of what will
always be the remnants
of my long ago mourn
i don't want to go back
but i don't want to move on
I don't want anything much
now that she's gone...
i guess I just don't,
I just don't ....
want any love anymore
not for a while anyway
"Once burned requires healing."
