till it crusts and blows away

by Jaired S - Aries

I picture chains
locks, and iron weights
all tangled in me
sinking into black waters
and out before the bottom
is touched, and dropping
into a crevice at the
bottom, going even deeper
into the dark that runs
for miles every way...

I hope i never hold
my breath in a dream
I cant wake up in...

I often wonder what
I meant and suddenly
I picture her happier
Im gone, and my heart
stops for a second, and
leaving her gets easier,
And alcohol only dulls
my feelings and drugs
lift me as high as they
can before their magical
hands disappear... 

I'm more hurt and quiet these days,
withdrawn a little but my hearts not
broke, but maybe it will tear for every
time I try to talk to her with
butterflies and bullets ripping around
inside my chest, by the time another
season passes with these unknown feelings
i will have a veteran for a heart, a vet
that's more use to being in tender pain
than enjoying the possibility's of young life...

The rose i held out to you
Ill hold 
till it withers and blows away...
