Not A Strong Enough Word

 

Heart splits into two

Two parts which were one

Through an icy, lifeless letter

All we shared was undone.

 

Gloom hits me intensely

Hard as a heavy boulder

Love isn´t a strong enough word.

Now, who´s going to lend me a shoulder?

 

Trying to comprehend where it all took a turn

Escapes through my fingers as sand

While the flames in my heart burn, burn, burn

The radio blasts a song by our favorite band

 

Tears soak my pillow as I try to sleep

Sleep profoundly into the abyss so deep.

A reminder of how actions are stronger than words.

Cold and Empty

 Love can take one to freezing places

Damp, cold, dark – alone.

Love is supposed to maintain one open – alive.

 

One loved profoundly, with all they had,

While the other moved on, never looking back.

 

A love remembered,

A life love never got.

 

One loved fully and lost without war.

The kind of loss that does not knock – just walks out the door.
