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...
