Once a big wind blew with the bellows of doubt that destroyed the fragile house you built. Once the words you said out loud betrayed you. Not so long ago you thought that forever would stay for ever. Now the dark night steals each tear you cry for the days gone. Salvation has left your heart with no hope of a return.
Those bricks, you once so determined, carried close to where you both stood are now nothing but a reminder of how deep bullets can wedge their impermeable bodies. Between hearts, between souls, between the words for and ever. After you shake off the shackles, an empty shell is what remains. You seem lifeless, void of the colours that once glowed in your heart.
You asked me once to keep safe a love from long ago. It meant much to you, it made me important. You said that another will have you, now that other will be nothing more than a love from long ago. Someone else, or maybe me, will keep that love safe. A love that has died, that has lived, thrived, blossomed and now gone. Incomprehensible its story.
Incomprehensible you are to me.
