Love that could never be...

He’s vulnerable, heartbroken, and fractured

She’s tough, stubborn, and strong willed

She picks his pieces up, and she intermingles herself among the broken shards

She’s his adhesive

She’s controlling him, but he loves it

He longs for it

He longs for her

He watches as his vulnerability

Turns into jaded appetite

What is this feeling?
He can’t identify it…

It’s unknown to him

He chooses not to address it, and she lets it go

Because she doesn’t mind being stuck in between his broken edges

She takes solace in his completion

And he lets his feelings swell up inside him

They sink to the bottom of his heart

He never tries to retrieve them

He lets them sink

And as time goes by, they lay there

In the desolate ruins of his pitch black heart

And all he can do is raise a toast

To the one true love he let slip between his fingers

To love that could never be...
