As you/leave me/to break

As you/leave me/to break

A Poem by Julianna Marie

The world is so beautiful when its quiet,
see it there, in the lingered graze of your fingertips.
At finger’s edge, 
you’re limitless.
And the beauty there,
can you see it?
Framed by destruction and chaos,
dumpsters overflowing and broken people falling over
broken legs
and broken hearts�"
Can you see it?
You can only live with your eyes closed
for a matter of time,
and it’s so easy
and you’re so easy 
to be around,
and we would’ve had things 
so easy,
Can you see the beauty there?
(As you 
leave me
to break.)
We were in love once,
but I can’t predict the future.
The world is so beautiful when it’s quiet,
but your closed lips
bring wretched tears
of ugliness
to my forgotten face,
and they trace their ways 
down
in dead-end roads
to my finger’s edge,
where I could’ve held the world;
where I could’ve held you�"
Standing at my heart’s edge,
you’re limitless,
Can you see the beauty there?
We were in love once,
framed by destruction and chaos;
broken people falling over
broken legs 
and broken hearts�" 
We were in love.
