Untitled poem...

untitled...




       
       and suddenly my world seemed 
            bigger
                  my life a littler more
      empty , more shallow

              because you weren't in it.

         of all my treasures, my
                  heart is the one 
       thing i kept most closely guarded
     Nothing could break through the 
          Cables and Chains, the layers upon
           layers of bricked wall and cement.



                         Nothing,

              
            
              I cut my treasure away from 
        the rest of my body,
           
                 it was a beautiful thing
 
            crippled, useless, disfigured, but
                    beautiful, nonetheless...


            i had cut the nerves off and 
               sautured the edges.
 
         i placed it in the
                    center of a vaccuum in the
             darkest center of my soul.

        for i knew the agony it could unleash
              on my body
                        
                    i had seen the agony an intact 
                      heart could wreak on a person's soul.
         
     i had vowed to never let that 
            happen. i would pretend, lie, cheat,
               steal 
         and then break hearts.
   
     before any could attempt to do the
                 same to mine.

              i foresaw in my future, nothing
         but darkness and despair.

                        i longed for the light and the joy
                but i knew not how
           to save myself...


               Then Came You...
