Had I Known.... Had I known that the heart breaks slowly, dismantling itself into unrecognizable fragments of misery.... Had I known the heart would leak emitting it's ache with a vulgar visisbility Into the dress-up dining rooms of strangers..... Had I known that solitude could stifle the breath, loosen the mind, and force the toungue against the palate..... Had I known that lonlieness could permeate, winding itself around the body in an omnious and beautiful cicatrix..... Had I known- I still would have loved you. Your brash and violent beauty, Your heavy comedic face And your knowledge of sweet delights. But from a distance I would have left you unfrequented for the delectation of those who Wanted more and could care less.... "It was my love that did us both to death. " -Sylvia Plath |
