I don't like this title. If anyone who reads it can think of a better one I would GREATLY appreciate it. Conclusion to the "Heart" series.

Hearts Turn Away 

~ 

Two hearts in limbo. 

Lie to themselves 

while trying to protect hearts. 

Say one thing 

yet covering faces with masks of disguise. 

Believe “life” can go on, 

though knowing it won't. 

Do things to avoid 

their matching heart beat. 

Act in certain ways 

by dodging what they feel. 

Lost in the days 

when living was easier. 

Bygone days before they met 

the one they're longing for most. 

~ 

Both wait for 

the pain to subside. 

Abide until not merely existing 

begins again. 

Delay thoughts until 

they're clear. 

Anticipate the end 

of feeling. 

~ 

Both dream of 

the less difficult. 

Dream of lives 

being completely different. 

Dream of 

arousal's hidden desires. 

Dream of 

sweet release. 

~ 

Both hope for 

something more.
