I gave up

12:57:00 AM


it's all words
never were they actioned
never had been and never will be.
For once I mentioned about the rose,
that withered
that died
I tried watering it foolishly
with hopes of having another chance
just one more chance.
I gave up,
while the dry petals floated sarcastically in the vase
while the water reached the brim
while the weak thorns laughed at me
I gave up.
For every words were lies to you
every motives wrong
every actions wrong
every breaths wrong.
How far am I to wander to prove what this broken heart felt while it was whole
how many sins do I embrace to draw myself away
of every haunting memories
of beautiful memories
of you
and of you giving up.

Smiled with what left he had, still trying to not be rude,
Pain in his eyes
Fumbling for words
There as still as he stood.
Blinking away the pearls he tried, an effort to smile again,
His broken heart
The broken him
To heal and join was my main.
Denied and walked away, didn't let me mend his soul,
Little he knew
To fill his gaps
Were pieces of mine that I stole.
