The ache inside of me
Groans like desert for rain
like the waves for the shore
Like stars for the rest of morning
.
And it sounds so beautiful
So poetic
So perfect
An agonizing masterpiece
.
But it still aches

They say

“You don’t choose who you fall in love with”

But I did.
In the end of it
I did
Because I could have chosen
To walk away
Every time you started
To run
But every time
I stood still
I chose you.
And I’m afraid this time
You might be gone for good
And I still choose you.
.
I could have ran too.

You ease my cautious soul
My dear, you do not know
How difficult this is to do
.
Bringing out the wild girl

When I came back
To a ghost town
I thought your phantom
would still reside
..
somehow I am far more haunted
by your absence

How did I give my heart
To a silly little boy
With trembling hands
And half a heart
He wasn’t even sure
How to use
.
I mistook you for a man
...
My apologies

You were long gone
Before you ever said
Goodbye
.
The least you could do
Is stay gone
