No Death For The Weary

emotional, sad love lost feel,

...I 

loved like a run on sentence

mentally continuing thoughts of love lost

silently withering away...

& they would say 

my heart resembles barron land 

barely surviving the winter's harshest frost 

heaven had froze over 

hell to pay was the cost

& based on our trials 

I sentenced myself

into becoming a hollowed structure 

& I 

structured my spine into a physical slump 

so the world could see how hard it is 

for a mere human baring ungodly emotional weights 

I weighed...

multiple options of opinionated 

open ended questions questioning us while sleeping eyes wide shut 

wishing our love would thrive 

like vines entangled around coffins wishing for a breath of fresh air to enter a corpse esophagus 

which meant...

in order for us to appreciate 

such a love 

one of us would have to die 

& I'm still breathing...

...your death was a must...

This one would have to be my favorite thus far. You have an amazing talent for thought provoking imagery, especially when conveying the burdens of love. I read this three times and every time I was more in awe of not only the structure but simply for the message. The visuals are vivid, that in order to survive, in order to continue loving someone sometimes its best to let them go and keep those memories, those vines that breathe life into the dead around. Otherwise nothing is left but emptiness and that burden upon one's back will only continue to crush that spine that tries to hold it up. I'm not entirely sure if this is your intention, but this is how I interpreted it.

and it sounds a lot like my failed marriage.

Magnificent write my dear-your writing is profound. I'm so adding you. I want to read more! XD
