He was the grantor
Of wishes
And the bearer
Of love
He was the giver
Of affection
And the maker
Of dreams
He was the bestower
Of kindness
And the producer
Of happiness
But most of all
He was the keeper
Of her heart

For a month of writing prompts, click here; The keeper of her heart
The sheets
Were the only witness
As to what transpired
That day
Ending up discarded
In a disheveled mess
On a cold
Barren floor
Tossed nonchalantly aside
Like they never
Even mattered
All the warmth
They ever gave
Instantaneously forgotten
As a sudden moment
Of unforeseen passion
Left them crumpled
And useless

There’s a war
Breaking out
Beneath the surface
And the heart
Isn’t winning
This time

The clock
Was restless
In anticipation
Of another day
The girl
Was helpless
To keep procrastination
At bay
The work
Was senseless
And wouldn’t
Go away
The day
Was useless
Windy
And gray
The outlook
Was pointless
But she’d promised
To stay
The desire
Was reckless
To find
Another way
The afternoon
Was zealous
Beseeching her
To play
The schoolbook
Was jealous
Begging her
Not to sway
The convincing
Was endless
And she became
Its prey
The pendulum
Was voiceless
With nothing else
To say

It hurts
Everything
All of me
Aches
As love
Wilts
Slowly dying
So am I
