Falling Apart

By steven winters

I want to peel away your flesh and dig inside you for the love you said would always be mine.

I wish to collect it in a jar and keep it on my shelf or maybe i should turn inward and dig all the the memories of you from my brain.

It would be bloody work forgetting you but maybe that would fool my happiness into returning.

I miss the world were you still obsessed over the idea of you and me melting into one burning soul but i have come to terms with the fact that that world no longer exists for me.

Now my thoughts are jagged splinters of what could have been and of what will never be

I used to be one spark away from a soul on fire now i am one bad seam away from falling apartĀ

    Love lost and love regained. I think the worst kind is the love we can't have. The love we all crave but we know is impossible to hold. The toxic love that we are bound to. It hurts like no other. It truly soes tear us apart, doesn't it. Again, great write.
