.

 once upon a time

there were a woman 

so mad in love, 

her ravenous heart took it all 

her gentle hands tried to hold on to everything 

but she couldn't

she was just one 

with just two gentle little hands 

clumsy enough to let it all fall 

let it all break. 

she took it all 

she was left with nothing

because she took so much more 

than she could hold

poor woman

blind with vicious love

savage with need 

left all alone 

in a dark cloudy cold night 

all the pieces of the love she held 

beautifuly exposed on the floor 

there was nothing more to hold on to
