The path to the heart 

The path —

— to heartbreak

— through heartbreak

— past heartbreak

Ice, fire, and everything in between...

That’s where you’ll find me... where Fire and Water meet

------------------------

Raging waters and raging fires... what really is the difference?

You think you’ve cupped water, found a new flame;

Only to find it slip through your fingers... and be burned by a heart-shaped, cast-iron branding — 

When cupid’s arrows become stupid flaming arrows...

It’s torture.

The path to and through heartbreak is that

Shattered yet again to different shards and shades of bargaining, acceptance, depression, denial, and anger...

So yes, equal parts raging water, raging fire, and ice-cold hearts to numb the aging agony — really, they’re all warring for more than their fair share; and in the process, they consequently tear me from the inside-out.

The internal turmoil — I’m tearing myself apart.

I’m tearing myself apart...

So tell me,

Where’s the way out?

Perhaps my fall from grace can end in glory... and I hope that’s not just another false hope.

I’m bleeding... that’s the path through heartbreak — you bleed

And you bleed in realtime... almost as though in humiliating display for the onlooking town-folk.

Cruel.

Just plain cruel.

And what’s my consolation prize?

Then life spats at me and says, “Who do you think are? You’re just another monkey in this circus you entertain yourself in... punk-ass dweeb”

And it reads once again as... “you’re just a speck in the universe”

And I guess, somehow, that puts it all into perspective - haha
