The Heart Juggler

It can’t be saved, this love is beyond repair my dear but at least I’m twice the man that I once was
All things end & now I will only call you ‘friend’
My heart will not allow the words up through my throat

‘Cause you walked away, my best wasn’t good enough for you
I pulled most of the shrapnel from my heart but I left a piece to remind me that…

She is the heart juggler but I don’t wear clown makeup or big shoes
Fire me from the cannon far away from her tightrope
She promised to never close the door on us but she opens & she slams it as she pleases
Juggling hearts is a messy business mistress…

A trojan horse couldn’t breach the perimeter, do you think people deserve a second chance?
I’ve set a new course, these arms will hold somebody new, it’s a grand ocean that only invites bold sailors

’Cause you sailed away, you went to Antarctica via the Bermuda Triangle
He followed you into the abyss for the sake of an icy kiss like a dog with his tongue hanging out…

It’s cruel to say you love me, my heart is all or nothing
Put your head upon my chest, The beating has no soul left
There is so much truth in the space between our words
It clings to bubbles & rises to the surface
On an island there’s a circus where she resides…
