Breaking Soul
July 5, 2013
Each word grabs the strings tied to the edges of my heart
and the strings tug
and tug
until it can no longer be stretched, and my heart gently begins to burn away
from all the damn stretching.
The ashes take to the wind.
And im left with an empty soul
that is only good for holding hands.
I cannot be and breathe and see you anymore.
My heart has been so full of you that it was stretched to bits
I cannot be what you need anymore.
