I stand by the blue water and look as far as I can
Water isn't what I see as I fade out of reality
I slip back to the night when he took you to dinner
You ordered coffee he ordered whiskey
But you hated the smell of whiskey
And he loved the look in your eyes

Your phone started to buzz
The same buzz as my father sipping on his jack on the rocks
You got a call saying your car was hit
You ran outside
You ran to your death

I wrote "mistrust" on the bullet before I shot you I will never forget the look in your eyes that my father loved
I looked into them as the blood ran from your mouth onto my shoes
You told my father you loved him but it wasn't true

So as I stand here with the water brushing my toes
And the wind giving me a chill
I look out into the sea and realize it is the same color as your eyes
And you were not my friend nor my mother
And everything you said was lies
Going down today's rabbit hole
*what the **** am i gonna find this time
A war with you,
is like a war with who?
A dance with you,
is like an illusion,
that will never cease to come true.
People have wasted lives,
to have you,
to make two,
as one.

And this desire,
to be special in a fire
they call love that
should be have.
I call it, mind control.
You call it, "True love's toll".

It seems everything's unsure.
If it's an us or is it just me.
Yet you assume,
wanting to love,
to give
to be given
to be loved.

But there is no assurance.

Is there?

A man? A woman?
They are not everything.
Everyone comes and go.
They escape our lives,
like a throwback in a row.

Don't waste your life.
A woman may be yours,
but your lives are
a two separate course.

Don't waste your life.
To a man who has the ability
to take and take
while loving you in a fashion,
so fake.

The world goes round,
to money, to fame
to love.
But loving can hurt.
And it's not your worth.

**So give yourself, the love you deserve.
○ A poem by Juliet G. Jimenez ○

** Note: So, yes, another poet actually inspired me in the making of this poem but I put a little twist to it by adding the romance tag cuz, well, seems like people today all have a horrible love life. This is just a product of another tinkering of how I feel about the matter.

Yes, I do think that having someone you love and to offer your life with is very wow (laughs, I easily lose words) but it doesn't mean you should destroy yourself in the process of loving them.

Give yourself the love you deserve. Everyone deserves it. So, enjoy. **
I was so foolish to believe
*you actually loved me
****, im about to slip
Will you catch me
Or let me slip
*the choice is yours
