just another token of a stolen heart.

bruised broken
cracked weathered
mother nature cannot
be fought with even the
most powerful of savles
or ointments. she
will until the

very end

be waiting in the morning
never with a smile, no
always poised, waiting for
that first grimace of
the day
upon realization that
yes, you're in the very, one
and only place you'll ever

see.

and so your hot,
dry gateway to the
soul stretches, until
the tension finally erupts
to set off a disappointing taste
of bitter metal, one thicker
than water i will venture,

or at least ever so
very slightly

heavier.

bite off more than you can
chew and it will only
take you a step further toward
that day that may come,
the day
that you can no longer
bear the pain of twisting so
many forced syllables
and troubled phrases together

and seal your lips for

good.
