I showed you my flaws,
including every dirty secret...

( done for a challenge to write a poem inspired by...
Two hearts beating together...

This poem is not distracted by metaphors and rhyme...
because this black ink is speaking...

This day has never been the same
since we buried you beneath an April sky...

Each tender smile
collapses into blue rivers...

I won't be around to watch you grow
I'll never know if you're alive...

It hurts like hell to know that you are not around...
to calm these screaming fears...

We said hello,
let emotions roll...

Windswept winter trees
whisper goodbye to the snow...

Her house is dead
no movement inside...

Don't run to me with your meaningless apologies...
of why none of this mess is your fault...

My promise of love
came with no hidden conditions...
