jaybird

By Philla

my heart
catches in my throat
and i face you
and every demon you imagined.

i am weak..
as i trace every memory
and broken fragment of my heart
with bloodied fingers.

i remember.. ah..
how cold you are.
when you love me.

i am broken. without you.
with you.
because of you.

you are
the terrible force
that tried to condemn
an angel for flying.

freedom calls to me.
and it sounds so lovely.

sweet ghost of my heart,
i let you go.
and i'll tuck you away..

and forget.

i will always love you.

Great dichotomy between 'tucking away and forgetting' and always 'always loving'. This is a great piece! Ciao, T/S
