Fissures

Ignore this, 'tis merely the ranting and raving of a madman.

Every day my heart does break

In knowing you're not mine.

But with a word it heals back up

Like a video tape on rewind.

Oh, it'll be cracked,

Covered in fine lines

Where it fissured once again,

Fresh fractures every day.

Though I may cry out

Against being so stuck,

Not free but bound

Unshakably to you,

Still I ever remain yours.

I am the wraith that you want but can't have,

The future you wish you had,

Forever unattainable.

Though you wish to always have me

All I can be is disposable,

A little toy destined to be put aside.

We're perfect poison, you and I,

Volatile, ready for an explosion.

We eat away at each other

Like acid, like fire,

Each feeding the other's desire.

And without fail, every day,

A fresh new fissure busts its way

Through my ticker and leaving me broken.

All that'll be left one day

Is a pile of dust that busts at a touch,

Rebuilding as always

From your three words...

Beautiful fissures cover my heart

And shape it into something monstrous.

This is NOT nonsense. I quite adore it actually!

I love that you refer to your heart as a 'ticker'; it fits really well. It's filled to the brim with feelings of masochism, delusion, and immense need.

The last two lines are absolutely perfect. I wish I had come up with them haha

Thanks Avy, I came up with them first because I'm just awesome like that. :P I'm glad you enjoyed this uhh... bit of nonsense.

John, if this is you just having a rant, may I suggest you do so more often? This was really great. I love that word...fissures...makes me...feel all streaky in my bones (WHAT??) I don't know...I just like it. Great work, kid...
