The heart spills in dissonance
as eyes fix upon clouds drifting
atop these aspens that sway
sending signals surrounding my walls
as I create, mortar
where love left sound
empty
to survive on its own
as genuine begs to be seen
instead of chastised in game
getting played out
I hurry to pick up
these broken pieces
these
broken
pieces
as your worth
was forevermore worth
it all
and forever storybook clouds
drift
away
to your heart's
dissonant sound
sending skies
to fall upon lids
as we all exhale in darkness
of a heart's breath
to speak of everything
but
the truth
