Favorite Quote:
"If Harry Potter taught us anything, it was not to live in a closet."


We were toying

Building a house of cards

 

As the slicing wind blew

It pierced through your chest


Through your soul

My heart raced as the wild cards trembled


The tower shook like a snow globe

But it wasn’t snow that fell


I waited for the sleigh bells to ring

The choir to sing


Everything I dreamed of

The warm, bubbly feeling melted

 

The tower tilted

Spilled

On me.

 

I gave you the knife

You stabbed hard

 

I was bleeding

And you watched silently


I gave you the knife

You stabbed hard

On me.


The author's comments:

Inspired by all the heartbreak songs that I add to my playlist, this was one of those poems that took me barely any time at all to compose. The phrases flowed through my mind so naturally that all I had to do was reach up and grab them before they escaped.
