Bitter Ends

April 20, 2011
By Anonymous

My breath is shallow
My pulse ignites
My thoughts are filled with endless spite
Our laughs
Our cries
And each embrace
Have disappeared, without a trace
Without you, I have no purpose
You've stripped me of my self assurance
You've tarnished the memories we've created
To you I've elapsed, I feel sedated
I fear I'm not ready to let you go
Your tender feel I may never outgrow
These wounds inflicted will have to mend
And my constant peace is just ahead
Until I find anchor I'll curse this sky
Knowing it takes time for frail wings to fly
