Rhymes

Shattered, broken

Emptiness

That's all I am lately

So sad

I can't even rhyme

But what's the point of rhymes?

They're just feeling restrictors

And I've been restricting for too long

You're still in my heart

My brain

My soul

My fingertips

Every part of me

It reaches for you

I want to hold you

To kiss you

To be comfortable again

But, you've changed

And I've changed

But, I still love you

You can't go back

Once you've kissed an angel

I can't breathe without you

I guess rhymes restrict more than feelings

They're restricting my lungs and my heart

But restricting me from falling apart.

Now that I've lost the rhymes

My tears fall harder

Colder

Stronger

Building an ocean

Between you and I.

I've lost myself

In searching for you

'Cause you were half of me

And I'm not much good

Without you

You took your swings with your words

And they cut me down

And they didn't rhyme

So why should mine

I'm so confused

and frustrated

And lost

So lost in this ocean

I'm drowning

Getting closer to the sand

But I promised myself

I'd come out alive

So I just gotta try

And fight this current

I just need strength

But the only strength I ever had

Came from the lips of angel

So kiss me,

Kiss me Angel

If you care enough

To still want me around

Stunning use of prose, I love how you disregard rhyme as too restrictive.
