Crumbs

Crumbling 

Grasping onto the pieces of us

as the crevice widens

memories seep through as I hang onto each morsel of love breaking away

We slip to the ground splattering everywhere..

I want to keep you

Down on my knees 

collecting the portions 

Love isn't done with us

we are just fragmented 

scraps of love here & there..

I sit alone in the middle of it all 

My heart yearning 

Uncertain of it all

Feeling it in my heart 

Feeling it in my soul

When it's sad it is so sad..

so empty 

somehow my words are silent to you 

The sting of silence crumbling  my heart 

as they echo off the walls and disintegrate back into me..

But when it's right 

it is so right 

I'll stand in the gap 

I'll carry the burden

My hands cupped 

Reaching out 

catching all the crumbs..

Until we are whole again
