beautiful mess by ~paperheartsyndrome:iconpaperheartsyndrome:

Categories Literature > Poetry > General Poetry > Open



you promised me this is love.

you used to write messages
on paper hearts
and hang them from the ceilings
and all of them would make my real heart
beatbeatbeat a little faster.

lately we've been looking for love in unlikely places
and we've forgotten the words to say.

so we're breathing in dust that tastes
like bad intentions and guilty consciences
and i'm stuck searching the shelves
for self help books or envelopes full of apologies
anything to end this silence.

this isn't beautiful. no, this is a mess.

my name always sounds like a lullaby in your mouth
so it belongs to you
safe behind your teeth
but since you stole it
i've forgotten who i am.

it's odd how you still say i love yous
like you can stand the taste
since your lips only bleed when you're lying
and lately they've been stained red.

and now i'm a spun glass heart
with a fractured surface
and hands that will never be warm again
without yours entwined in them.

and you are a cyclone
with the winds swirling around you
and lately they've been pushing us around
crashing us into one another
eroding the edges that used to fit.

and now you can breathe ice
from your frosty heart and frozen lungs
like cigarette smoke
engulfing me in past regrets and bad choices
as if i am

the biggest mistake of your life.

Dreams can come true, but never fantasies, if you nurture a fantasy, it'll most likely get broken.

I like how it ties in with your namesake too. ;P
