cleft.

shattered

each breath slices

like a guillotine blade

through lungs

that once expelled

"i love you"

easier than any other word

oh to hold a black hole within me

to take back all the moments

of blissful ignorance

to take back all the rebuffed touches

of hopeful love

to rescind every moment

where my lips spoke yours alone

where my hips moved to yours alone

where my heart beat along to yours alone

i understand the eternal sunshine, now

I love those four lines Jennie..your words have the wonder of being very much real and yet so very delicate as cotton balls.Your words are just yours..one of their kind..unique.

My goodness....
Your words come together to form
a battering ram of emotion. Even when
the reader has their guard up...you
somehow manage to force your way in.
