just look: one love, two bodies, one dead, and one alive

A beating heart,
my beating heart.
stopped
once
just long enough
to
break

my life lie in
your heart
my soul committed
not to give up a fight
until
you let go

or did i let go first?
letting you slip
away
to him
pulling you
away
like gum on a shoe
slowly
messily
with a stick
not even bearable to touch with
bare hands
leaving bits of you behind

we were together
in sync
until i went away
just long enough
for you
to forget what we
are
were
and now
aren't

you say you love him
i say
whats love?
if no one will ever love you as much a
i love you

why

why do you need his
love
what is his
love
how did i let you slip
away

you still have no idea
like a guardian angel
i watched over you
i protected you
i brought you back to life
i loved you
but your eyes are blind to see
for my love is too great for you
for if it weren't you would just
turn around
look
see
feel
be
alive
with me
forever
how it should be

but
never will

my heart
it aches
but only when
the darkness pours in
over the sun
when i look
to see that no one is
looking
anymore
for me.
no one ever was

i've been a ship lost at sea
you were leading me somewhere
until
you burnt out
just
stopped
now i'm blind
lost
scared
broken
waiting
for you to realize
there is only one
love

you love him
i love you
they aren't the
same

he gets to hold you
he gets to please you
he gets your love
he gets your time
he gets your energy
he gets you all
to himself

i was there for you
i loved you
every ounce of you
parts he doesn't even know you have
i gave you my heart
in a box
wrapped in the
perfect
white ribbon
one you never want to untie
surrounding
a tiffany blue box
like the one's
that carry precious jewelry
that you love so much

i gave you my word
i gave you my time
i gave you my love
i gave you my all

for what?

for you to give it all to him
when i'm away
not even able
to put up a
fight
for myself
a battle
i've all ready
lost
a bomb
that all ready
stopped
my heart

you say you need the love he gives you
you say it's something that i cannot give
but you never turned around
to see
that it was
you
not me
that held back

i gave you my all
my heart
my soul
my love
and my body was there
for you
waiting
for your body
to make what we had
complete

we had it all
we were
one heart
one soul
one love
but we were always
two bodies

you gave him your body
you lost mine
that so patiently waited
to hold you
to caress you
to admire you
to see you
all of you
my body
loved you enough to
wait
for you
but you gave it
to him
like i gave you
my heart

now i know it was something you never wanted
we were never one body in your mind
we will always be
two bodies

for your vision impaired you to
see
my everything given up for
you
your vision impairs you from letting
two bodies
of the same parts
be one

if only you could see
my love
my soul
my heart
my body
that is dead
not alive
because it stopped
just long enough
to lose
your love
your soul
your heart
and your body
that i waited for
but never had

if only you could
see me
right now
back then
this whole time

just look
i'm here
and i need
you
i'm bleeding
i'm crying
i'm dying
without you
