Don't pick up the pieces
Leave them on the floor We weren't meant to be At least that's what you thought But tell me why just why You couldn't look in my eyes And tell me face to face You took the way of cowards You took the way of shame Of words written Not spoken But shining on a screen The tears they came They ran red hot As they fell away No resolution No discussion No articulation Sorry not sorry I felt it too I won't lie Two who were one Were now two again But still to strike A beating heart with A blow so cruel So absent So sharp And everything I gave to you No not materials But love Meant nothing Became wind Scattered Discarded I made mistakes But so did you Burdens heavy On creaking shoulders And to ease the load You broke a heart Now this isn't smooth It's not well crafted It jars And stops And starts And it's jagged But waxing lyrical Came before The shattering Of something already fragile So read this Or don't I no longer care For love that I know Is absent But just look Really look At those pieces Lying on the floor They were one Then two And now sealed behind the door. © 2016 MrMarshallAuthor's Note
