It happens after the light,
so my heart can fall and break,
what I'm used to,
and it'd be easier to cope sooner rather then later
I'm used to the fall
Maybe it's a comfort to me,
so I can grasp it and hold on,
as I know my pain will never leave
It will be by my side...
...lingering within
and I won't be alone
Familiar to it's tight hold on me,
smothering me,
pulling.....
Sometimes I feel to embrace it
Become one with my sorrow,
Feeling fragments of myself
questioning.......
Maybe tomorrow I'll be numb
for it's easier that way
I don't fall
I don't break and hurt
so I no longer search for the light
to eventually grasp,
then slowly....
..... slowly have it no longer within my reach,
for my heart to be left empty and bare
I used to think I scar myself,
search for dead ends.......
to be in the depths of despair,
Once again to find that comfort,
which is all I know
Now I feel, it searches for me
like a demon...or a leech
waiting to suck me dry
and crumble
and if I love you it's my fault
for I let it happen
Chose not to see,
gave into hope
Wishing this time around things would go up...not down
Chose to bare my mind,
my soul
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Leaving myself open to what it boils down to in the end....
......so it's me at the end of it all,
left to find that comfort that I call sullen....
Or maybe things won't turn out this way
and you'll be there to catch me when I fall
...am I reaching for the light again?
or am I reaching for it in misguided hope

Love is the glue that binds us all together. And when it breaks-it's a million pieces of glass all over the floor. You can't walk anywhere without leaving bloody footprints everywhere you walk. Well done dear poet!
