Cold Heart & Love

Longing for the warmth of a love gone cold

The words bellowed through me

Like waves in the angry sea

Touching every corner of my soul

Staining the innocence of my being

You kept falling under

Influenced by your state

Grasping

Begging to take me with you

Intoxicated by your words

I stumble

Searching for my strength

Searching your eyes

For the love I once knew

Tears cloud my vision

And I cannot find you

The poisonous sting of your voice

echoes through my mind

Swells inside of me

Threatening to stay

Gone

You have been carried away

By your world

A shadow

of the man I love

Until daylight breaks

And you find the broken pieces

Of what’s left of me

Carefully gluing them back together

Fused by apologies

Sealed with a kiss

And a promise

Until we break again

heartbreak
