We live amongst
the shadow hearts,
those that keep themselves
hidden away
somewhere in the dark.
Those who let their love
fester inside,
when in truth they would carve
their love into the countryside.
If not for the fear
that lurks in their shadowy halves,
the parts they have
had thrown aside.
We live amongst lovers
whose hearts struggle to beat,
poets that dare not speak
for fear of the truth leaking out,
the ridicule
that comes with
a dose of self-doubt.
"It's easy", people shout,
"Just open your mouth,
let your words pour out."
But you know
that your truth is only yours
and that speaking those words
places you alone
in a room with no doors.
We live in a world
where silence is golden.
The words you hold on to
are beholden to one, but to give them
would leave your heart torn.
So you let them sit,
these words jostling around
in your stomach, like butterflies,
without the lovers highs.
Just a feeling inside
that you fear
ever being let out.
I know we live amongst them,
as I am one too,
I fear so much
The feeling of my heart
being once again torn in two.
It's hard to grasp a hold of the hurt,
it floats around
like a dark grey thunder cloud,
complete with lightning
tearing a hole into the sky,
leaving only
shadowy silhouettes
standing by.
