The Breakup Song

Poetry

written in your lines,
all my once upon a times —
I can’t escape,
you break me wide open —
snatch pieces of soul,
scatter me like confetti and celebrate —
as you take me under your waves

I drown a little — but learn to swim,
I lose my breath, you find my strings —
and play,
pump adrenaline through my veins,
take me over —
night and day

you ignite my tears
as your symphony of misery — 
sings my life,
blue days are just so long,
the nights melodies — 
just sound so unkind

you call my name
with your crazy beat,
damn — you make such sense to me
but I can’t explain,
set fires to my bones,
I like the way it burns —
dance all over me with flames

you play your song,
heart skips to your beat
you shoot me down,
I trip over my feet —
fall back onto…
