The Broken Pieces of Me
Once upon a time,
a heart beats with bliss.
As the clocks chime,
we part with a kiss.
As you fade away,
the snow blinds my eyes.
I pray as I stray
under various skies.
The tiny glow wanes
as I hold it to my chest.
The heat stirs chains
deep in my breasts.
Slices of valves peel off
when planes maim clouds.
How many more coughs
needed in a crowd?
Toes taint with blood.
The road is still long
for me to cross floods
and muds with a song.
Flashes of you strikes
My heart, it breaks
Into million spikes,
enough to keep me awake.
Fragments pierce my veins
and cut my nerves
As I vaguely see trains
in arousing curves.
I will catch that train
that you leave on.
I will chase that plane
that you walk in.
All whites encompass me.
I cut open my skin,
Count on three,
I’ll pull out all my sins.
Tearing all the memories
out and seal the shealth.
Streaks of blood hints jeopardy
on you and my deaths.
Broken, but not over yet.
Lost, but with no fear.
Nobody will cause me threat
as I see with eyes clear.
Some time in nowhere,
you will reappear like snow.
You feel not my cold air
Or know I am about to go.
