What do you do when you realize you are alone? The one I poured so much of myself into is gone. He knows it, and I know itl But there's nothing either one of us can do. My heart breaks into smaller pieces every day. I don't know how to save us. I don't know how to save him from burning out. The fire I love in him is smoldering, I think. I don't know how to save myself from complete permanent destruction. How can I fix something that isn't in my hands; out of my control--my love, my life--has been wretched from my passionate embrace by a cold, common reality, where I cannot follow. There is a world behind drawn shades that I am shielded from by youth, by blissful, blinding ignorance that I can't shake off. The shadows that are made by this heart of darkness--cruel, mundane existance--don't disappear with the light of my love...but they skirt around me instead, flickering in a frenzied, yet furtive dance...always there, but just that much harder for me to see. All the choice I have is to wait, rocking with my face in my hands, sobbing for the world I cannot see, and the beautiful boy I have lost...and as my heart breaks, shatters, and crumbles till it is nothing but dust and sparkling glitter...I wonder how long I must die while yet I still live. And when I can finally stop to pick up the pieces of my love, will there be anything left for my fingers to grasp?
