My day was going well until................
I saw your words.
many of them.
Line by line your compliments came.
Warmth,
caring,
kindness
is what I felt,
Until.........
It began to crack.
The red fleshy mass shattered like glass.
piece by piece it hit the floor.
flowing apart.
Not mending together.
The distance grew far,
but we never moved.
Bodies accessible,
our hearts are not.
In my arms our future melts.
The warmth now chills,
your embrace weakens.
Muscles limp.
My eyes running overtime.
The salt hits my lips.
drip drop, drip drop.
Lying on the desk,
lays an ocean of feelings.
It flows to the side,
as the thoughts remain.
Wishing until...........
The beginning.
