The Breakup - By J.Marie


I let you in, you built a wall.  I lifted you up, you let me fall.You told me you loved me, then tore me down.You lead me to water, then watched me drown.Too afraid to accept love in return, you built a bridge just to watch it burn.I loved you completely, accepting all of your flaws.  Then you broke me so neatly, without even a pause.  Turned away, gone separate ways, maybe you'll miss me one of these days.

I am a writer, a musician, and an artist. Words, rhythm, soul, art, flesh, & bones, are the components to this being, that is me. I live to create, and it is my privilege to share with whoever stumbles upon me. Only hoping, "Your creative membrane will swell so much, your eyes will change color.” - J.Marie http://jmarievllc.wix.com/jmarievllc
