spineless
We could lie beneath the stars and dream
...dreams as big as the universe.
But like a bomb, it would come undone
and tear at the worn fabric of my heart.
As a tattered book can no longer hold
the pages of its mind
there is no spine to hold this love of mine.
The words to our story get lost
torn away by the trials of life.
You could fade into the weather
with nothing to hold us together
and I would be crushed
by the absence
of you.

"torn away by the trials of life"
I liked this line because it tells the truth, especially when it comes to a lot of relationships that could not weather the storm.
nice work.
