I Left My Heart by Lucy Amelia T. (Me)
I left my heart
In little shards
Right there on the floor.
As soon as those words shattered hard,
"I don't love you anymore"
It's funny...you can tape and superglue all you want, but all you end up doing is cutting yourself up worse.
Even if you get it back to a similar shape,
It's still broken, still too late.
Glass. Frozen.
The only way is to melt it down; love; to be chosen.
But now who to pick up the pieces? Who's around?
No one. Just your classic broken heart alone on the ground.
Even if anyone stumbled upon them, who sees a pile a jagged shards and thinks to pick them up?
After all, they'd just cut up their hands trying, they'd just give up.
Why not just pick up a new one?
Nobody picks a dying flower to give to their love. Nobody bothers to nurture it back to health.
They just pick another one,
One they'll surely keep.
It seems that everyone's forgotten; a dying rose smells all the more sweet.
Still-life
By Lucy Amelia T. (Me)
Stumbling through
Smoky mist.
Stony cliff.
Gray.
Slip.
Jagged bliss.
Hopelessness.
Will I be missed?
Shadows kiss
My brow.
Is this
Over now?
I'm falling down
I'm on a cloud.
Slicing through thin air
Cold, empty stare.
How are we here
My love
Endless cinder sky
But it's alright.
It's a static rush
Whispers hushed and shy
And flickering, darted eyes
Ashes from above.
But it's killing me, this love.
The stars and sky above
Look down on me
And they can see
My vision is no longer mine..
No more need
For compromise.
I'm falling hard
But it's alright.
It's a clear, blurred lull,
My eyes blank and dull
And open wide!
