my heavy keeping chest
It's untouched and slowly reeking
of all that you did best
Unsettled love; a battle field
of invincible wars against time
Always wondering where you
hang your sleepy lashes tonight
It's been unfair to keep me
inches from forever and eternal lonliness
I realize there's only one true way
that I can have you despite all of this
You are what I want; bluntness
was never my soft spoken subject
Without you, I realize too--that
I may live my life admist regret
Maybe I should have begged
and pleaded to keep you around
Ask you to hold on even if you knew
it would hurt me all along
I let you go too easily, my sweet love;
my one true connection to all true beauty
I've always thought that if I held onto you tighter
then perhaps my heart wouldn't have rotted inside of me
And I could cry
Yet, I will withhold these bitter tears
Instead I'll try to be happy
After all-- that promise of mine, is yours
So why is it apathy dear, that I can have such sympathy?
Maybe it is not your mistake, but only my naivety
