Its funny how love ends
not with fireworks
but with ashes.
You'd think we'd go out with a bang
but instead
we go out with a headcold
and a pocketful of regret.
Only fine instruments can break a heart
and fine instruments
take awhile to work
so perhaps this has been going on
for longer then I've
felt the pain. I guess my
receptors were turned off
(or blinded).
It was fun until I realized
I had all these memories
under my belt
and a rash around my neck
because the necklace you gave me
wasnt working anymore
(and it wont take new batteries)
So I guess this is a poem
for all the words I've left unspoken
and every line I've never fed you
because I'm too weak
and shy
and bashful.
When I look back I wont remember this
because its a happy moment in a sea
of something blue. Take my picture
down
(notice it wasnt plural)
and dont ever tell me good bye.
[This backbone makes me fell better.]
