Air On A Theme... @aaronljohnson-blog - Tumblr Blog

Her eyes saw around but never through me. I built doors into walls thick with ages of mistrust and misguided false truths whispered into my ears while I was wide awake but stomped into my skull when I slept, for her. Chiseled names of ghosts from the past and unopened letters from monsters from the present slid beneath cracks that she always proclaimed as weakness. Her tears rained constantly but never for reasons we could see and when asked teeth snarled and bit while fists pounded my chest as I though is she trying to beat my heart more than it already is. Yet I never strayed and always held close the little things that were big in my eyes the things she did like twirl her hair or drum fingernails painted shiny colors or tap her feet to unheard notes of music that flittered in from instruments all around us like passing cars or wind in the trees and strangers voices. So now I sit and think did I really let her in or was it just an excuse for me to get out of a dark and gloomy past from which I was always told nothing is better than what you keep inside and all I was given was ugliness and pain. Her eyes saw around me the beauty that she thought would never be hers and what I always tried to give her everyday.

I regret your death But the sun shines just as bright, And the tears are dried...
