No one ever told me how to untangle my heart after I wrapped it around someone’s soul too many times without prevail. No one ever told me that picking up the billions of pieces of me off the floor was like trying to pick up sand grain by grain. No one ever told me no matter how hard you tried it would always feel like a piece of you was missing and you would be left questioning if you were ever whole from the start. No one ever told me how to be strong.

she used to tell me that love was a dream that only existed in a land far away somewhere in the skies beyond the clouds. she once said to me when i was young that one day a man would take me there and that i would never come back down. you see she spoke of fairytales and princes she told stories of true love and happily ever after but she never told me of evil villains. she never warned me that sometimes people slip through the clouds and fall hard breaking their hearts as it cushioned the blow. you see my mother told me of love but she never warned me of heartbreak the one thing that would've stopped me from throwing caution to the wind.

we were torn apart at the seams and weaved back together meant to act as if we were whole again but there were always pieces missing and always a string away from falling apart all over again.

I really love your poem that starts out "My heart broke in pieces The nights I sent kisses through the line"... I can relate to it word for word. Reminds me of my ex completely. Love it though! and your other poems as well! You are a fab writer <3

and for once he wrote a poem, he wrote about me. and he let me read it, and asked me to check it and the only flaw i could find in his beautiful words was the subject was more flawed then he ever thought it could.

the morning sun rises from east to west along with your memory still present in my mind. the cars speed by with each rapid thought of you. the birds still sing our song for the wind to carry out into eternity and the pale flower bud blossoms with each passing day. soon the flower's aroma will no longer remind me of you dancing around our barren halls and the moon won't bring me images of your lips on my skin. city lights will just be lights again, and the world won't be whispering your name. life will go on and i will cherish every second because after you i realized nothing truly lasts forever but i will take whatever seconds i can get.

Just in case you did not know: i am extremely insecure and constantly need to be reassured that i am good enough for you.

late nights brought the thoughts of losing you and a searing pain to my chest, that only a downpour of unfiltered tears could soothe the torturous pain. my mother once told me "once your heart feels empty throw it away and start over again" but my heart deflated 8,756 hours ago but somehow i kept on loving you. every touch of yours singed off a piece of me and in the end you were left with the remains of the hallow bones of a girl who loved you until she ran out of ways to.
