Pieces [Poem]

Pieces....

I come in piece, many pieces to be exact,....

It’s not the fact, it’s the tact;....

Yea, I’m broken… but I tried,....

And thanks to you, I died a little more inside.....

You burnt my heart, leaving nothing but ashes,....

But life bears from the tears, whipping against the ash in wistful lashes.....

In my soul, you left scratches, deep enough to puncture my sense of love,....

You spent too much time wandering my mind, this is getting tough, my dear,....

My greatest wish is now my biggest fear.....

I need you but surely you will be the cause of my demise.....

I find solace in the light behind your eyes,....

But I find doubt in the sadness lingering in the sides,....

Is this real? Or is it just a guise?....

In a hypothetical sense, I hold you close,....

Close enough to feel everything and yet nothing, I suppose,....

Its hysteria, see I laugh but I want to cry into your shoulder,....

I wish for child like ignorance but with time we must get older,....

So I accept, but I wish to remain in this place,....

Made to be ugly and yet beautiful, every strand of pretty in your face,....

The world surrounding us, ugly beyond comprehension,....

Time hangs like a string, in mid suspension, between hell and heaven,....

The best and worst of both meet in the center, and a whirlwind of colors surround,....

But I didn’t notice anyways, lost in your eyes, they speak with such tremendous sound,....

My senses grow weary, catering only to you, in this false sense of reality we fade away,....

And yet we fade into another place.....

Within the seconds I held you, I knew what forever felt like, within the confines of my mind,....

Splendors and wisdoms surpassing my age and time, is what I find,....

Somewhere in your nonexistence I found something real,....

Something I can lean on, an outlet to feel,....

But it’s locked, sugar coated with poison and lead,....

Only to be opened when you leave the thoughts behind in your head,....

And journey to the beliefs of your heart, ....

And you will end where you find a place to start.....

I can’t tell you all of what I’m feeling right now,....

For it’s too deep and dense to write down,....

I will push you away and I pray,....

That by the hand of God you’ll want to stay,....

I need you close but can’t fathom the thought of you touching me,....

My idea of perfection is somewhere in the midst of your breathing.....

The idea of you being away, tears my soul apart, leaving me in 2.....

To be honest, every sign leads back to you,....

I can’t help but be entertained by the thought of your smile,....

Tell me you’ll stay, at least for a little while?....
