The broken always breaks

[ghostofagypsy]

My hand falls away

heavy like an anchor

that sinks into waters

that taste like the tears

I can still see behind your eyes

I know I hurt you

like my skin isn't branded

by only you

I hide in shadows

like your only job

is to light the path back out

I don't know why

I like the way the lies

lash jagged lines

into my own flesh

And I don't know why

There's a realness and rawness to this piece which I greatly admire and gravitate toward.

It feels like a poem about real love - not sugar coated and sterilised.

Excellent, my friend. 🌹

I will always be a romantic at my core, but yes, this is definitely a more realistic love. It's harder to put into words, but I find it more fulfilling when I can manage it.

Thank you, my darling. 💜
