#abandoned love

pick me apart until i’m nothing but crushed daisies on a sidewalk,

until i’m dreams dashed on the pavement.

pick me apart, love…

pull at my seams,

drag on my soul,

weigh down my world with your burdens.

i will wear them til i drown,

and meet your diligence with my own.

so pick me apart, my love…

and i will hold my fragments in open palms for your perusal

until you take them, with pleasure,

your promises a riot on my heart…

your neglect, the rot i should’ve scented from the start
