Dirty Love

So we came undone, stitch by stitch, it's been far to long but the scars still itch. Lies start to feed on a love I believed was specifically designed and crafted for me. Words once ingrained into our history, scatter like petals from an over-plucked daisy. Promised love danced on a breeze of deceit, then lay with the trash and leaves on the street. I almost reach down to gather it up, to brush off the dirt, keep hold of the love. A girl rushes by with a smile in her eyes, steals all the love and I'm left with the lies. I sink to my knees, embracing the ground, I sense you beside me, you don't make a sound. You just look so sad. It's then that I know, all I can do now, is let you go. But I know if I wait where I am, if I stay, my heart will rupture as you walk away, and though I am scared, shaking as I rise, I can't let this last juncture fossilize, into another moment where you think you win. So I walk away first, my next chapter begins...
