Symmetrical

Relentless I know I won't regret this extensive bleeding of my heart Painting white roses on a grave. I tell a story to who ever will listen. My mind wonders with thoughts that glisten. Though there is a division. A division that is my spine. Symmetrically intertwined I find it odd that one half of my body has a heart and the other is heartless. I find it odd that I always fall for this. I find it odd I never know if I want more or less. I have to stress that there is no test for this.I Regress. Analyze this. Ever kiss someone so much your lips go numb? A blissful fate that eclipse all that makes this world a hateful place? With Parasitic Tongues that live symbiotically through Taste. Well I said Kiss Me because I have two Eyes so I can see you try Kiss me because I have two ears that hear you breathe in my fears Kiss me because I have a mouth and it's just what mouths do. Kiss Me because I just have one heart, and if I had you we both would have two and four of nearly everything else. And nothing can top that thought that feeling of wanting more. Till that kiss has something amiss and is taken by some a lour. I shake my fist and toss him into the abyss of the forgotten and torn. Torn from the pages of my life. Written out my life through this poem no more. I stand here in front of you all now a broken man a better man. Not better because I'm broken better because I'm free. That's all I've ever wanted to be and I might not be Likely to succeed but at least I'm me. I've been tattooed, Pirced scared I remember that I only have one heart one body one soul and I am forever dyeing hard. There was something there though no it was the spot the speckle in front of my eye moving closer to me and embracing me. With a tender bliss with hopes that the feeling lingers. It's like 20 fingers and 20 toes and 64 teeth. Yes I counted these all while we where underneath the sheets. though you have to understand that we where once together then her heart strayed and lost a tie. I never thought she would leave my side. Growing old together reaching our goals together. Now the shoes that cushion our feet turn to the shoes with the holes in a soles with our souls worn thin. You left me to find yourself to be your self is all that I want you to do. Yet I'm here pining for her. Lying for her hoping she removed herself safely from the now empty side of my spine and watching forever and moving forward to the next great end.
