It breaks my heart, again
To see us reassemble the pieces
Only to find that
This isn’t working out
What was it I saw in your eyes
If they were not yours
When your voice went shrill
Or weak with fatigue
How I wanted to hold you
Carry you to a restful place
The silence in your breaths as you drift off
And I wished you sweet dreams
Now I wish you well
On the journey to find yourself
I walk my own way on an unknown path
A light so bright in which you won’t follow
So separate again
Leave our middle hollow
Shaven bark makes us coarse
Distressed and with no discourse
No argument or flame
No beat or sounds the same
Your laughter and smile if at the cost of my accuracy
I would fumble all of life to see and hear it
And perhaps that is why I should walk away
Before the sight of you holds me
The way I wanted to hold you
Until the very last moment
When you take my breath away

I'm just here. Until I'm not.
Beautiful writing. Heartfelt and heart-breaking.
