■■■■ Open your heart. Let the love in. Even if it hurts, let it break you. Let it leave you an empty shell. And when you finally pull yourself from the shadows of all that could’ve been and the reality of all that isn’t – do it again. Let love in. Let it wash over you like a sinner’s prayer. Hear the bells toll as you stand and mourn those who live in fear of never falling. For that is the true tragedy of heartbreak – to permit the actions of fools to dictate your joy. Demand better. Settle for nothing. But until the moment your heart no longer pumps, let love in. Always let love in and let it break you. The pain you feel will never stop chasing perfection. The edges will be jagged. The pieces may never fit together again but there is beauty in the broken. And there’s no salvation in the calm. ■■■ #jaylong #writing #poetry #prose #motivation #love @writerjaylong

Had I known the curtain would fall before the final act
I would have ran through the isles during intermission
Spreading my love for you like confetti on New Year’s Eve
I’d of grabbed every noise maker
and started a seventy-two-piece band
Played on the corner of Broadway and 7th Avenue
Humming out a love song on my kazoo
As the world got a little older
and life got a little colder
Now with every second that ticks
The ball freezes in time
A toast to you dear friend
I will celebrate your life
From this day until my last
With drug store champagne and cheap plastic glasses
