Objects of H E A R T B R E A K

YOU SMILED. I SMILED TOO.
EVERYTIME YOU WOULD LEAVE I WOULD MISS YOU.
IF I DREAMED YOU WERE IN PAIN
I'D AWAKE AND CAST IT ALL AWAY.
YOU CRIED. I TOOK IN ALL YOUR TEARS.
YOU WERE AFRAID. I DEMOLISHED
THEM AND THEY WERE NO LONGER
FEARS.
YOU TOUCHED ME. YOUR HANDS
FELT LIKE SILK.
YOU RAN THROUGH MY VEINS.
YOU HEALED MY BODY LIKE THE TASTE OF WARM MILK.
YOU DREAMED. I DREAMT I'D ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.
YOU SELPT AT NIGHT. IN SPIRIT I SELPT RIGHT NEXT TO YOU.
BUT IN THE MORNING YOUR SMILE BEGAN TO FADE. THE
DREAMS YOU SHARED WITH ME WENT AWAY. THE FEARS
I CONQURED FOR YOU, YOU LEFT THEM FOR ME. WHAT
USED TO RUN THROUGH MY VEINS BECAME TOXIC
TO KEEP UP YOUR SLEEVE.
EVERYTHING I GAVE TO YOU.
YOU WERE AGASINT MY HEART.
EVERYTHING I PUT TOGETHER,
YOU TORE APART.
I AM QUIVERING IN FEAR
AND MY BODY IS BEGINNING TO
SHAKE,
EVERYHTING I GAVE OUT OF LOVE,
YOU RETUNRED AS OBJECTS OF
HEARTBREAK.
