It's been a year now.
I hope you're doing okay,
Wherever you are.
Austin Mizelle Dec 2018
My relationship
With her will be like that of
The night sky and stars.
For her

I’m gonna light your
Reputation on fire,
And leave you to rot.
Austin Mizelle Jan 2019
The kerosine she
Left behind on my lips was
Something of a dream.

amare?

Old eyes gaze upon
Young faces. So in love they
Were, so young and dumb.

She was a killer.
Little did I know, I was
Just her next victim.
girls are drinks served to kings, unfortunately some are poisoned

I scream into the
Void, my throat hurts from crying.
I really loved you.

The truth is that we
Were never really in love.
We only thought we were.

In all honesty,
Seventeen syllables just
Can’t show all my love.
For her

I want to kiss a girl
Atop a green hill full of
White Petunias

Last everything
Austin Mizelle Jan 2019
I may not be your
First date.
I may not be your
First hug.
I may not be your
First hand to hold.
I may not be your
First kiss.
I may not be your
First set of eyes to stare into
I may not be your
First person to call up at midnight.
I may not be your
First shoulder to cry on.
I may not even be your
First choice.
But I want to be your
Last everything.
The world stops for a moment when I touch her, and suddenly everything is okay again.

To the girl who broke my heart:
Thank you.

I know you're out there, somewhere
Having fun with that other guy
Who you promised me high and low was
"Just a friend".
Thank you for showing me
Who you really are.

To the girl who broke my heart:
I love you.

I really, truly do.
I love the way you can tell a bold faced lie
And then paint your face
Like you didn't do anything wrong.
I love the way you lied
Both to me, and to yourself.

To the girl who broke my heart:
You were right.

Yes, I really was mad at you all those times you asked.
Yes, I really did make all of those gifts by hand.
And yes, I really did keep track of every day we dated for.
I was taught to count my blessings
So thank you for all 464 days you spent with me,
I hope you count your blessings in the future.

To the girl who broke my heart:
Goodbye.

So long to all the nights I spent with you on the phone.
Farewell to every time I held your hand.
Sayonara to each and every kiss I left on your forehead.
And Hasta la Vista to every kind word I said to you.
Goodbye to you.
Goodbye to us.
Goodbye to
Everything.
Goodbye

— The End —
