Dark Heart

I'm levitating as you slowly run away from me. I feel like it's a dream but in fact it's all reality and I can't turn away from the fact that you're leaving. When did everything turn so sour? I thought we were perfect and the life that we were living was good enough. Once I start to think about it I realize that the romantic inside me has died and that my first, true love, is nothing but a fable that parents tell their children so they will believe in something that us adults no longer believe. It's the cold hard truth that shakes me out of my visual coma so I return to my near empty apartment reminiscing all the things I will no longer be able to escape. It looks like a pit and not a place of love. A wave of emotions pass through me as I hear my record player spinning until I lift the needle and wallow to the warmth of Morrissey's voice. I've lost my heart and can't seem to locate it. I check my shoebox full of memories in the closet but realize it's empty and that he has taken everything inside including my soul. There's nothing left for me here, but the darkness that has always controlled me. This time it won't be so easy to over power it, because I'm too far gone.
