Falling apart, together
By Lylani
We dance to the rhythm of destiny
Sing to the harmony of fate
Stumble forwards always looking back
Happiness became a forgotten dream
We held each other close
A million miles apart
Fell asleep to dream of better days
Woke to find...
... we still hurt
... we were still alone
Together
Every fake smile
An attempt to comfort
Our screaming souls
Every kiss
Desperate
To believe our pretense
We could have loved each other
But history stole our hearts
So we stay together
In silence
Only ourselves for company
Two broken halves
That won't make a whole
Sometimes we walk away
But we always find our way
back
To where we began
To fall apart together
again

You have described every day I've had for the last 2 years 11 months and two weeks. That was the breaking point. Now I realize the two halves never fit together in the first place. Too late. The living spirit that made the heart beat died slowly before the breaking. Sorry to get all personal. This touched me. I'm sorry ANYONE understands this poem.

Holy $#@! - if this isn't written perfection of exactly where I am, then I'm a mangy mongoose! Reading this... I'm almost tempted to say 'staythehellouttamyhead!' - "to fall apart together again" - permission to show this, some day, to explain?
