One last one.
Like a distant shadow now
Lemon drops and cardinal creamed beginnings
We wanted to be everything.

Promising rings and things for a better tomorrow
I told you all my dreams, as you watched with such hope
As ink and pain whistled and contemplated my legacy and name
I could say I'm sorry with every brush stroke
Bat of my eyelash
As you calculate my cold business demeanor
But what you don't know
Is how every tendon in my body dropped
As words came out of my mouth
To fully release you
To fully release me
From what we longed to be
"Forever."

A swan on your leg, what heaven
We danced into the moonlight
As never ending tears flood my face
I never thought it would come to this
But here I am, my bloodied heart in my hands
Once again.

But I will pick up my camera
My elegant long legs
And document just how much we meant,
Again.

Words, words
We coo and screech what we needed to say
As we both fight with blind helmets on
I never meant to--
I never tried to--
You thought that--
You wanted me to--
The betrayal we can only hope time will mend.

I use to imagine you
Deep in the pits of my colorful and chaotic mind
Dancing and celebrating
Marks all over our toned backs
I hope we never have to fully
Lose that
But I respond with ferocious strength
Making canvases in every crevice
You say you will always be on my team
I only ever want to lift you--
To lift every man and woman
Into the glorious sunshine
While my inner moon beams and shines.

Do you remember when
You would call me late into the night
With your side stepping antics
Love, you love so well
I never meant to make you feel so lost.
I would say I'm sorry
As we watched Adele foreshadow our ending.

If I ripped my heart out
And let you eat it for breakfast
It wouldn't change a **** thing.

But I hope
I hope that in time
We can bring our weapons
And set them aside
Just a cafe, "take 2"
Cold heart break left at the door
Lay it all out on the table
And move forward with love
And our own beginning in our eyes.

I stumbled across some eggplants today
They were bulbous and scratched
Inside and out
I stood in front of them
For what seemed like a very long time
"He really wanted you to be The One, Lemon."
That phrase echos and rings in my head
Haunting me like lemon drop shots
Or all the love we forgot
To share.

Two good people
Two wrong entities
But they meant everything.
