The sound of my heart breaking into a thousand and one pieces
Pierces the silence in my mind
This is how we disappear…and the hope, curdles into rage
When I think of how
You never hold my hand in the open
Or ask me to dance at parties
A thorn in my flesh sinks deeper,
Every time you let my hands go and cross the street
So no one will see we’re together
I waste everyday, spending my nights with you
Lost in the darkness of your life
I don’t want to be practicing ‘zombie’ whenever the sun rises
Yet we can’t rewrite the stars
So I know I’ll never be enough
You’ll never see me cry
I won’t let it out till the door closes behind you
Do you whisper her name too?
Like a soft, silk shoulder wrap
And trail your fingers down her shoulders
The same way you do mine
Is her head on your chest right now, listening to your heartbeat to fall asleep?
Why can’t we be like that?
I am going crazy
I want to scream and awake from this bad dream
In broad daylight
My day starts when the sun sets
And the moon arrives with his cohorts…stars
Somebody save me,
I’m drowningðŸ˜
And no one can hear me
When you’re gone
The only thing that breaks this deafening silence
Is the sound of my heart…breaking into a thousand and one pieces all over again💔💔😥
