The Blood & The Bones

These lips
Before they dripped
with love and hope
Now they just tremble
when asked about it

And this heart
So weary of giving
Shrunken down reluctantly
it aches
And now it’s barely beating

My mind is full
the dark seems to be growing
I swear that I can’t shake it
Claws of doubt ever clenching
To the fear of falling again
