Emily Von Shultz
I like to believe that there must be another universe,
parallel to our own,
and I toy with the possibility that somewhere out there,
I am not alone.

I long to be lost in this alternate reality,
where all of our dreams came true,
we never had to say goodbye,
and I don’t lose my mind every time I think of you...

But it all evaporates from view as soon as I look at it,
leaving me with only a small glimpse of what could have been and what will never be,
at least not in this universe.
"All the things I should have said, but I never said. All the things we should have done, but we never did."

Maybe if
I swallow that alcohol -
it will burn all the butterflies
inside my stomach.
Intoxicate me with your love...
please..

My heart shouldn’t have profusely bled
I saw her face only once
a moment’s crossing in a moment paid
not meant for a second chance!

The fire shouldn’t have leapt in me
she was a doomed emotion
trying to live in my penned poetry
meant to be only a notion!

My mind shouldn’t have imprisoned her
caged her from one mere glance
lived the phantom of an absurd affair
spilled ink in a mad trance!

I shouldn’t have sought her anymore
searched in the wild her trace
she couldn’t be my paramour
I saw from the crowd her face!
