Cylindrical circumstances

She put him to shame
With her hypnotic fame
He cast insults
While she hurled blame
One final blow
Finished their toxic game
Sending her back
To whence she came

Crystal clear consolations

There was always comfort in his words
Both spoken and eloquently written
And she cherished every stolen moment
For with him she was quite smitten

There was crystal clear evidence
That he loved her with all his heart
And it seemed she had felt the very same way
From the first words he did impart

There was never a doubt in her mind
About any potential hidden motivations
For she could read between the lines
In all their semi-periodic conversations

And as the years shuffled along
She knew for certain he was the one
For a light shone so brightly in his eyes
Which caused her heart to come undone

Never had she been so sure
Of what love was and all it meant
Until that day he happened along
Falling into her life by pure accident

And even to this day
She still feels the very same
For once two souls align
A heart can easily be claimed

Time with you…

There never seems to be enough time with you

The days are long and the nights are too

And if I could have my way

I’d steal all the lost minutes in the day

And spend them all with you

He hides his goodbyes in her hellos

couple

He hides his goodbyes
In her hellos
Never revealing
What she already knows

And as the days continue
And the months turn to years
She blossoms for him
Increasing his fears

For he knows the cost
Of true love upon a soul
And if he loses her now
He’ll never feel whole

So he hides his feelings
As best he can
Hopeful that someday
She’ll understand

Paper heart

paperheart

Where to start
With a paper heart

Uniquely delicate
And gossamer thin

With a pale almost
Colorless skin

Can there be
A more fragile design?

This is why paper hearts
Get left behind
