because your voice is something
that will only destroy me.
Hold my hand and breathe love
upon my shattered heart as the
jail makes room for one more
prisoner.
You move my thoughts aside
as you say hello, you bring my world
into blurry perfection.
When my breath is released you catch it
and bring it back, holding my dreams in a cage
that you welded together from your drunken rage.
Walking a path that floods from the screams
you express in every sigh blown my way.
I watch the wind blow by as you make the rivers dry up
and leave foot prints on my dreams.
Thank you for the ring that burns my soul,
for making me regret that white dress
and making me feel unwhole.
Memories of happy ending slowly fade
everytime you look my way...
Author notes
Wednesday: Write a letter to someone. Someone you lost that was close to you, someone you can't stand, someone who's broken your heart, etc. Vent, if you need to. Get it all out, & write it as if you were going to show this person.

Oh my this truly captured me
Indeed sometimes dreams get bluer by the day each shade lifted the heart begines to realize love it was not with him and one must move on to survive

..==>... the last line?

"not whole"<--the part I thought was awkward 'cause of the 'not'
"every-time"<--you don't need a hyphen
"jail makes room for one more
prisoner."
That's...well, a really morbid & awesome, poetic thought.
"blurry perfection"<--could that be 'blurred'? Meh...I like it either way.
Makes it seem like imperfection that you view as perfection. ^^
Have trois BUNNIES & good luck
