. . . One for our history book

This heartbreak
It's one for the history books
It lasts a life time
It lasts . . . 
As long as you want it to
Because inevitably
You are always 
The deciding factor.
This is one to remember
It's tangible . . .
It sounds like
Shattering class
On a marble floor.
And this
Seemingly perfect place
This marble palace
It's breakable
In a way you never knew
I never knew
About the compromises
And the line in the sand
That just kept getting
Pushed back a little further.
This heart break
Resonates around the world
You can hear it from 
Anywhere you are
It sounds like a
Broken promise
Or a hope . . . 
newly forgotten
It feels like
Disenchantment . . . 
Apathy . . .
I wonder how 
I never noticed it fading
I wonder 
If you ever noticed
One moment 
After another
After another
Leads to this one . . .
This one heartbreaking minute
It's one that lasts a lifetime
Whether silently
Whether outloud . . .
Whether in prose
It's one 
for our history book . . .  

Just a moment . . .

It's just a moment
Like a thousand others
Special only because
It's with you
It will fade
Time will tarnish the vivid coloring
But I will always 
Remember it
And how it made my
Soul sparkle. 
Just this moment
That came and went 
Too quickly
That's now all but vanished
But like the thousand before it
It still makes my heart smile
When I think of you
A compilation of moments
Romantic and special
Intense and hilarious
Sad and uncomfortable
This one
Like a thousand before it
Is made special
Only by your part in it
And how you're a part of me
All this time
All these years
Every single moment
Like this one
I remember them 
In a song, in a poem
I remember you
Always as you were
The first moment 
I knew I loved you
Time passes, friends go away
Milestones forget us
And you are still here
My very favorite of blessings
The flutter in my heart
The blushing on my cheeks
Is still for you
And all this time
And all these faded moments
Can not dilude you
And how you still make me
Laugh and cry
Scream and get frustrated
Fight and get sad.
It's just a moment
Like a thousand that came before it
And the thousand still to come
Made special only
Because it's with you.
