Heavy Anchor Heart

You take a breath,

Ready to look back -

Look deep back on

The times that once were

.

.

The times where

You would look upon

Both sealaced streetsides

Not once, but twice

.

Left, then right,

Then left again

And right again

And steady-still

.

Steady you stayed

Strayed away

By the ocean's spray,

Lost in the last eyes

By the dying light

Of May

.

.

Yes, you still remember her birthday

You still remember her birthday

.

.

.

.

.

On one hand, an island

Of flowers and blossoms

That never cease

To bloom

.

Petals falling,

Leaves a'dancing,

Always ready to rest easy

Always ready to catch you

.

.

On the other hand, an island

Of chasms and sweet mystery

Always casting a shadow

Always under that same rainbow

.

But you think,

The colors just mean

It always rains where you are

Where you are,

It always

Rains.

.

.

.

You hit your head

Twice then twice

Again, and

Again

.

Pendulum heart,

Metronome mind

Beat twice, blink twice

Please, please, think again

.

.

You still remember her birthday

.

.

What would your parents say?

.

.

.

Black and white

Back and forth

A push, a pull,

A current tearing at your worth

.

.

You always wondered

Why you were

So afraid

Of the salty seas

.

.

Heavy heart, you sank

Far below

Too distraught

To make a decision

.

To follow

.

.

.

.

.

You still remember her birthday

.

You still remember her birthday

Ignore basic grammatical errors, as there are some rules that, as a writer, I don't care to abide by. I feel restricted when following these rules, and since I have such a hard time getting my thoughts across, I'd rather break a few rules than be grammatically "perfect."

Pendulum heart,
Metronome mind
Beat twice, blink twice
Please, please, think again

love this line, and the sad repeated line, you still remember her birthday, it made me wounder who she was, and why you remember her birthday, and how sad it must make you feel to still remember her birthday.
