Concrete Heart

I cling stuck still
to before, in the past
I've changed I've tried
to please, but lost
myself
in you
inside your chaotic
soul
cascading deeply graceful
in a way I'll never
understand
consider my kindest
apologies

As void

sorry turned me inside out
bled me dry
sorry was not changing

pain was change

beauty
in all its glory
changed

Us

as forever sifted through
desires built

And forever never was

never came
always waiting for the moment
I could look inside
and see forever
not
a severed heartstring
a tired
adolescent
lesson learning
school house serenade

sculpting my new self
smoothing edges
slowly scraping
flaws away

hurt, no more
my concrete heart
you cant burn me

i'm far
too
tempered

you wont crack me
again.

  Wow dave. This drug me along. It stung a little but there was a sad sort of victory. The hardened of heart are the ones whos hearts break the hardest. Beautiful piece. Though I expect no less. Well done. -Glass

  You know I love this, Dave. It's got a very unique flow to it that keeps attention subtly with a very deep impact you don't realize until it's already over. Amazing write, once again. Stone bunnies forever, right?
