I’ll carve it out with my pen
This broken soul you cannot mend
With your words to pacify
Until your ends meet ends
You tell me you’re the shoulder
The rock cutting through the waves
I see a swaying house of cards
Collapsing with a single breath’s intake
I rip this prelude from those pages
That ink stained one’s worn well
From the constant shifting of stages
In this ever present hell
Let’s flip through all the monologues
Those well façade-ed lines
They break the heart to grow it stronger
And remind us of the strife.
‘I’ll take the shot for you.’
‘All that I’ve told you are lies.’
‘I love you but I’m not in love with you’
Or… ‘I just can’t see you in my life.’
Or maybe it was the time…She said…
‘Baby, I’ll buy your wings.’
And by now, without her, I have grown my own
And have flown on to better things.

Lovely, I can feel the Love as well as the sadness
Is there supposed to be no full stops or commas in the first verses?

Thank you very much! And yes, that's the way it's supposed to be. I hope it doesn't make it harder to read, though.
