Anamnesis

eyes fluttered like wedding veils
lungs locked up reaching for air
i got the weather in my veins
and trapped love on broken cells
sullen bride torn from her heart
long distance with the afterlife
a prince crowned with shark eyes
future focused on another life

tell me why
 
breathing in the chalk lines
tasting bitter in every breath
crystal heights are a part of me
falling asleep but never dreaming
slipping into a memory
so long ago
and they're better off without you

nothing goes right so i went left
threw caution to the wind
found our childhood vows engraved
hide the passion for later
but don't forget the date
tell me how one that's so blessed
always feels this empty and vexed?

  1. "nothing goes right so i went left." i love this.
    i love this whole thing. i can't get into specifics because i don't have the energy but just know i love this.
    i'm so exhausted lately; physically and emotionally and i'm getting over the worst heart break i think i've ever faced in my life (hugest difference being I actually *loved* this guy, I still do).
    everything is ok, i just need distractions, and this was a good one. thank you.

  2. i'm sorry ali. i've been experiencing quite the horrible heartbreak as well.
    i'm glad you i get to provide you a distraction, at least. i hope your pain doesn't last much longer.
