Shadow hearts

 


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.
