3xCept For M3

I'm just reminiscing right here as I sit with my eyes steady glistening Days tick by and you're still on my mind. They say it gets easier, in time but really you just learn how to live with the pain. The sadness remains of not being able to see you again. It's been years now and how I still want to say goodbye. I wish I could have held you one last time,  but you were taken before I could.  I hope you know that I love you, And that, all the days tick by and you're still on my mind You breathe inside of me like flowers blooming, like sleeping embers in the furnace of my heart heaving restless sparks in startling fever dreams. My bleeding feet have walked miles into myself and away from your entrapping embrace My soul has broken your spell averting my eyes from your gaze My silver armour is crumbling against blood soaked reveries I feel your presence beyond the horizon the distance swallowing memories My voice choking within your thoughts my presence a withering mist You gently urging me out the door streams of strange faces being let in To soften the shade of the aching bruise seal secretly grieving tombs  I move on where the blue stars fall, burying blood clots in the moon The silence here is deafening, dear but my heart rings on its beat I carry these shreds of skin you shed they once were made of me. Love is always awake Yet holds the promise of dreams. It keeps us warm Without smothering. It knows when to speak And when to be silent. It holds you up When you’re down. It breaks hearts, Then mends them. Love is universal. Made for everyone. Except me.
