So Long.

So Long.

A Poem by Lydia

My heart bleeds, beating your blood.
We were one, we were one:
Your flood washing over me
As our bodies entwined,
Cascading down the falls of love.
Oh, what is it I have done?
Your waves break not
Upon my shore,
Your breakers wave goodbye.
I am broken,
I wish not for life,
Yet I don’t want to die;
I wish only to be in your arms,
Your body over mine,
Protecting me from harm,
From the weight of the world,
From what he did to an innocent girl.
I long for your kiss,
For your eyes to smile.
I cannot begin to understand my feelings
Nor can I comprehend your deeds.
I am hurt by your hands,
Tearing me down to never
Be brought up again.
I sent you my love,
But now all that’s left to send
Is a box of memories of better days.
I am dying to hold on,
I am trying to hold back,
Bent, not cracked;
I weep because I cannot remember
The littlest things;
Like the light in your eyes,
Or the breeze in your hair,
Or the way your lips feel against mine.
I did not want to move away from you,
But we must be moving on.
It’s too late to be soon,
And soon enough to be too late before too long.

Every girl has a story
Im glad you shared yours!
I really like this, its so honest and real
thankfully heart break is only temporary, and somehow the beat is stronger after :D
