it started with a flirt,
flipped upside down,
knocked me down,
and stole my heart.

we ran our course,
tear filled eyes of remorse,
faded tattoo of her,
good bye my lover.

Four months since I last saw you,
Ashamed to say that I am beginning to forget your face,
Your red heart emoji has become blue,
Darling can we erase this space?

Being left with these thoughts is dangerous,
I need to dispose of this wicked notion,
With my mind being a landfill of commotion,
Thoughts are cancerous.

When you say "I love you",
Do you really mean you love me?
Tell me because I need a guarantee.

We are inexperienced and free,
So we are whatever we want to be.
We possess optimistic minds,
And go along with the winds.

Our thoughts are limitless,
As if we are omnipotent.
Our actions are precipitant,
Because there is no need to impress.

How do we lose it?
We see ourselves as misfits,
Our new identity is a counterfeit,
With sudden movements causing us to slip.

Light is the bringer of good,
And a form of revelation.
For us it has brought destruction,
As our buoyancy darkens with falsehood.

Unknowingly,
I've been caught in your web.
A spun web without a deleterious intent,
Yet my feet are stuck in cement.
