Love Potion

Those words created a translucent fog on my vision

Against which I would judge every misty morning from that moment on

It was warm, but the robins wouldn't play their song

If only I could have known then

Basking in your radiation, I felt simple

Contained within a bottle of lemon juice

Sewn together with white wash threads upon the presentation table

And I felt whole

A lack of lacking that filled my filling

Satisfying the rumination, you could never trip

Haven't lied before, so my thought were undeniable

Still I remained liable

When I was made of sand and toothpicks

Simply molded by circumstance

I was supposed to stand on my own feet

Not wobble upon your stilts

You told me that from the start

But all I wanted was your heart

And all you wanted was my words

For temporary fulfillment

If only I had known then

When did I realize

Unfortunately, I don't know

But the edges of my cloud were still trimmed at your feet

So that you might reflect upon your selfishness and realize I was still there

I try not to disappear

As much as I am able

Since once upon a time I shall have the potion of immortal unity

That only lasts as long as we might

But it would be enough

Not for you

But for me
