I saw you
then
I adored you
then
I loved you
then
I missed you
then
I yearned for you
And now
I'm scared
because
I feel like
I'm starting
to hate you

i fell in love with you
like fire

it was a flame at first
small and barely visible
but the warmth of its glow
replaced the crevices
where the darkness in my heart
resides

then suddenly-
it was wildfire.
it was passionate
and obsessive
the flames were getting out of control
not only the crevices burned
but my heart in its entirety.

i was blinded
by the blaze of the inferno
and the pungent smell of smoke
and when my vision cleared
i was nothing more
than futile ashes
scattering in the grim wind

What if you realized our demons were more alike than you thought? the things you hated most about yourself were in me as well. would you still love me then?

As they lay you down to sleep I pray the lord your soul to keep. I cant promise that I wont weep, right now its hard to even sleep.
You watched me grow, made me laugh when i was low. Bible school Sundays and trips to the park, like you are engraved in my heart.
You always took me wherever I wanted, dont think I ever took that for granted. Carnival rides, cotton candy & slides with you in my heart they're forever tied.
Charros days we never missed a parade, wed get chairs and sit in the shade. Sombrero fest was always the best, from elote en vaso to potatoes in spirals you made sure my smile went on for miles.
As the years went by so did our lives, I just wish i could have said goodbye.
