Broken Things And You.

* Broken Things And You *

Sun waded down into the ocean

I remember you opened your arms

to save it from falling, perhaps,

some of us have a thing for sadness

Falling people, broken things,

torn off pages, a leaking pen,

empty eyes that have forgotten

the language of love.

We're all in the process of

unlearning love, maybe

because love, like everything else,

isn't forever,

but love has its moments too,

sometimes,

love wades down into the water,

lovers drown for a moment or two,

even the strongest hearts need rest,

they need a break from breaking

into a million gazillion pieces

over and over again.

But also, there are times when we jump along

dive deep into the water to save love,

to pull it back up and give it a CPR,

you hit hard on the chest,

keep the pressure going,

you don't give up, boy,

no, not now, breathe please,

please breathe for god's sake,

Some 30 seconds past,

you lean down on love

punch it on its chest

and your heart is breaking

as you keep saying,

I love you, please breathe

I love you, please stay

I love you, please don't go away

and you catch the falling sky

you run into a field of rye

that very moment when you tear up,

your love becomes infinite, now 

you're screaming at the top of your lungs

while I click your picture,

standing in front of my red truck,

sun is wading down into the ocean,

you're still standing there

with your arms wide open

ready to hold me, when I break.

I don't know if I am broken or not,

But in your arms, I know

I absolutely don't feel like it,

tell me, when the lights fade

and I come back home to you,

do you ever feel like

I am the sun to your sea?
