One of these daysSomeone is going to come alongand break your heart darling,leaving you breathless on the curbas your heart shatters into a million pieces.But what happens nextdefines you as a person.
I see you’re once full of life face,
Now pale and lifeless come through the door.
I am surrounded by people.
But all I see are your eyes.
If a heart breaks and you're not around to hear it because you're too busy trying to calm your rapid breathing and stop your mascara from smudging,
Does it make a sound?
It must, I think.
The question then becomes:
It only takes a moment
One, simple, touch
That rips us apart,
Then brings us close,
Offering our bodies to the flames
It comes unexpected
Colliding in a haze of heat
A mutual desire
