Fractured whispers

Crack! It was the first time I'd heard The sound So hauntingly beautiful So painfully pleasing It felt like My lungs were giving out Like towers of melodramatic dust Crack! Crack! The faults spread out all over A mosaic birthed in the process Mismatched pieces Of love and hate and need Scattered in my chest A kaleidoscope posing for a heart Slowly my ears fall in love With the haunting warning sound Crack! Crack! Crack! Third time's a charm The pain in my skull Throbs in rhythmic sync With the one in my lonely chest An addictive melody Like the ticking of a bomb Cra-! My battered tattered heart Has given more Than any heart should Yet My only regret Is not having any more To give away
