Love's Heart Shaped You

by Christopher Shin

Love ends with
tyranny of the heart.
So the needle digs
deep into my heart.

When you say
the words that
I dread the most.
When you say
you love me.

Yet it only happens
in the dreams I
stagger by.

And I wish that
life was a dream
rather then the
hopeless eternity
that people say
are short.

Yet I look back
and love the
stars only to find
them spitting
at the stardust.

I wish I can be
like the dreamers
but only face the
heartache of being
me.

So it ends and begins
with love and the loveless
cries in the corner
next to me.

That's a hell of a well-said truth in those first lines, sir. Great, great stuff.

I am those words, too. The wide-vision hurts.
