Winter's Pavement
It was another cold winter
 I grab my jacket with desire of warmth
 Endure the cold chill of the rain drops 
 With the fire of passion and inspiration 
 Keeping me alive with in
 Though the reality I feel is dead behind my mask
 Covering the contents of a broken heart
 As my shoes hit the cold, muddy pavement
 I pick apart the couples that pass me by
 Wearing the feeling of meant to be on their faces
 I remind myself its only temporary 
 Because every solider eventually falls on his own sword
 Feeling bitterness melt in my heart
 Caring a large burden on my shoulders like the umbilical cord 
 That doesn't seem to leave me 
 Feeling somehow connected to last one who captured my heart
 Simply a month after and as I walk these lonely streets
 I have flashbacks of his heart beats some how remain in sync with my own
 I feel his love for her deep within 
 Wondering if its shown on my face 
 How deep my pain grows from this past sin
 Such a sinister feeling like heated led piercing my deepest emotions
 Taping into the concealing I shove aside 
 Until I feel the oceans currents of warm tears
 Find its outlet through the tiny cracks of this brokenness
 I wonder how much time will it take, months, days, maybe even years
 Until I will shake this emptiness
 Until I will be freed of his heart beat
 That still holds me captive in this enslavement
 My heart cries out to the passer by 
 Who's shoulders rub against mine on this cold wet winter pavement
