My hands grow weaker This hold I will prolong My legs shake and quiver But still I’ll stand strong My mind is chaos

Are you eating enough? Are you staying hydrated? Are you loving yourself? Or is your breath left bated? Are you sleeping enough?

To Love is to abandon All rational and logic To act out of character And find depth within yourself To love is to put your wants

Hello my Darling, how are you? How was your day? What can I do? Hello my Love,

One day I hope your love Will reunite with mine Or so I tell myself because It won’t

Waste my time Or break my heart You don’t get both

When we met You found me At my worst When we loved Time stood still

I wish that these words No longer reflect my pain But my devotion

I drank you in Like a fish Gasping for water Little did I know You were a shark

What I do Was for you Now it’s me Found self love But I still

I want to walk away I want this hope to stay I’m twisted and torn My promise, I’m sworn To see you again someday

This noose of hope Around my neck A memory rope Myself I wreck I cannot leave

People always say, “These feelings will fade away” Which ones, love or pain?

Like a tower of crystal glasses My hope stacks higher Waiting to come crashing down And lacerate my heart below A thousand tiny shards
