Stagnant.
My soul's flowing river has turned putrid and silent.
Manage only a ripple when I happen across a picture
Of your dimpled smile.

(One on the left, three on the right)

But it's just a reminder of a useless fight
Between what was, and what ain't
And is no longer worth a thousand (s)words
Pierced, poisoned, and driven into my spine
For what it's worth, it's lost it's worth
Her desperate whispers that used to dance circles are becoming faint:

     "Always Remember."
     "Always Together."
     "Always Forever."

But in her letter she was intent on letting me know
Just how much more her pain meant to her than me
And I'll never forget.


Fragment.
Shattered pieces of the mirror that contained me cut my feet with reasons hidden beneath my shadow.
And for one single moment
Just before my fist broke it
I could have sworn I saw her standing behind it
Shaking in regret.
Girl, I would have destroyed the moon to change the tides for you
But now I'm forced to drive away with rearview eyes and listen to the preacher's lies about how I'm going to be just fine
And you're going to rest in peace

This will never rest in me

And even though the voice is fading:

     "Always...Together..."
     "Always...Forever..."

I'll always remember

What you wrote me.

In your letter.
