Every Breath is also Heartache

Love and Pain

By Thad RhodesPublished 2 years ago 1 min read
Every Breath is also Heartache

Every Breath is also Heartache,

No Warmth is felt from the Light of the Sun,

Tears Fall and Sadness I Cannot Shake.

Happiness is Not Mine to Give or Take,

Must Be Swift to Snatch Elusive Fun

Every Breath is Also Heartache.

Perfection Found, My Passion was Awake

The Fates then Spoke and My Chances were None,

Tears Fall and Sadness I Cannot Shake.

Pain is The Pulse Of Numbness, a Splash in A Perfect Lake

I Only Elate in a Dream State, Not this Real One

Every Breath is Also Heartache.

The Calm I Exude is a Lie, the Smile you See is Fake

My Ability for Positivity has been Undone

Tears Fall and Sadness I Cannot Shake.

Time Heals All, But Scars do Take

The Direction of My Affection is Toward a Dying Sun

Every Breath is Also Heartache,

Tears Fall and Sadness I Cannot Shake.
