Palpitations in Love

Clutter & Clatter

You still bring me to tears
After all these years
It's abundantly clear
How you've got this vice grip on me

Why can't I find the means
It's a little obscene
You're even in my dreams
And I just can't figure it out

You've got me sick on love
Not the sweet way you've heard of
It's splendor hits home little dove
Bringing me to frailty to the core.

Can I even blame you
It's not your fault that's true
But what do you expect me to do
When you didn't fully seal us away.

You left me with hope
A broken hearted kaleidoscope
For fractals to whirl in and elope
The sight still make me dizzy.

I think I may make it by
But distractions only bide time
Wishing you were by my side
Never to of any avail.

Mind and heart bickering to and fro
Warm heart-wants & brainstorms of snow.
Burying the whims to let you go
Among the rubble of wars my organs wrought.

Bright eyes shine through
Making the fabrications ring true
Gripping on to the part of me that is you.
Then fade like the day during dusk.

Conflictions, contradictions, & common place heartaches mingle and shatter.
Closing chapter after chapter with different names strewn out across the clutter and clatter.
But yours remains untouched.
