Shallow hearts know no reward

She busted up his guitar that used to be the only one to carry a tune

Empathy is easy to escape when not dealt before you

Smashed in tins on a bike given, is better than his head

pain knows no bounds, to the entrusted to hold dear, be its peace he could not keep

Clothes piled in the corner at the place he used to watch over them on sunny days

seasons changed smiles too cries quickly became

butterflies kept them blameless susceptible in understanding as their love bloomed, love came so easy but quickly moved

Body language and negative thoughts enterd the room

division came swift, now one too busy searching, the other to damn certain they re-learning the history of hurting

Troubled hearts & stubborn ever the more, who can hurt who when no one wins the war.

playing for keeps just a game promises too far to leap, his thoughts too deep. Both fallen to "For i am not enough".

Wading the shallows of love has risen too deep, play it safe, save yourself a secret kept for ones retreat

Rewards now flood the deep waters, others too fearful to swim selfless hearts held no float calming their fears, too much too hard never ringed their ears

Coffee mug collects the outbursts of last week's few choice words

This new cycle comes equipped with escape routes and hidden tunnels just in case.

Don't let your pride take flight;
even angels have something to hide as he sees more quit in her eyes

An old habit of running always gave more rest, sorting out their mess, better to just start fresh

Their resolve now confused, once firm in the stance, present times draws their future of more abuse

No evidence of love before him, new coat of paint remedies the memories, a couple once proud too show on social falls forgotten it was ever him

back to that place of theee mommy' bubs' naynay'. low morals of others now seek to be his replace

He carried her broken pieces others have caused, she panics, i must be first screams for him to leave. Deeply she believes certain of the day 'he will leave'

A memory that can fade, she’ll pray to a home that has already been rearranged

A man forgotten, her not often, moments he wonders ,if her heart would ever soften if she ever thought of him

Burns the pile of memories good and bad he couldn’t carry either way

Fired up that twin cyn, a steady reminder as the wind cuts different thru the crushed tin

Unbalanced on his bike, too heavy on his mind, uneasy already.
a man who ran for the first time

Her new walls she didn't know came with flaws, stricken the man, a true love she forever lost.
