16 Links

The heart has its reasons

whereof reason knows nothing.

16 silver links,

all held together with uncertainty and fear.

Just a simple impulse

but it's gotten the wheels turning once again.

I will try to do the same but

don't try to change me,

fit me,

be my better half

Beginning of my novel

Any thoughts?

Once upon a time is said to be the biggest cliché, only reserved for fairytales. We are taught that love is the most precious bond any heart can make to another. It’s what we strive for in life and once we achieve it, everything else is supposed to fall into place. But what happens when our expectations aren’t met, when our fairytale doesn’t turn out like we’d hoped, when happily ever after just doesn’t apply to you?

An Epiphany at Daybreak

A mind that has no voice,

and a heart that speaks too loud,

a turn of events led to an epiphany at daybreak.

It was not a dream,

our lips did indeed meet in that pure darkness.

We are all just star dust,

floating around

and eventually, entangling with another,

that is love.

I know this now:

that I am not alone,

but your mind is not yet ready to see just me,

will it ever be?

I still yearn for that touch that

can send my skin ablaze.

I hope that you see that every word

that spilled from my pen and

poured from my mouth

meant nothing.

I cannot stand by what i wrote

once upon a time

when anger still pulsed through my veins.

I can only ask that you listen

to my actions now

and make up your mind.

To have a broken heart means

that you have tried for something...

I guess that means my heart should be shattered

on the floor,

but I intend to pick it up and fight for what I want

until the day breaks and that fight slowly dwindles

with the sun.
