Born to Break

I miss you like my heart is gonna break
I try to bust it loose but
It’s fossil heavy and won’t crack

I’m trapped inside my heart
I have a faint-beat and stone wings
And ancient riddles in my dreams

Some days I am breaking free
And others I can’t breath
Some days I say good-bye
And others I just grieve

I am a pterodactyl egg
A bird with concrete wings

    Wow…the Michael Jackson things seems to have hit you pretty hard. Tito is available if that helps.

    Very nice work.

    Damn. I am sorry to say I can relate. I wish it were not so. Yet I can’t help but love the way you say it, so beautifully. That Tannerleah, such a wise-ass… *grin*

      Thanks, 1WG. I know you get it – your work talks about it too. We can share the trophy for broken hearts, what do you say?

    Awesome verse there…indeed, you write beautifully!
    Great flow with superb contrads.. and you convey such a lot in a single write-up!

      I’m glad you liked it – I would not want to disappoint The Dark Lord.

      Thanks, DL, for dropping by and for taking the time to comment.
