I fell in love with the boy who thought he couldn't feel because he felt everything at once I fell in love with the boy who was my home even though he was lost I fell in love with the boy who taught me that love didn't come at a cost
I fell in love with the boy who broke my heart so many times I stopped keeping count I fell in love with the boy who taught me love wasn't a thing to be found I fell in love with the boy who made silence my favorite sound I fell in love with the boy whose lies left a permanent taste in my mouth
With him time and place didn't mean anything All I noticed was when the phone didn't ring All these words to say, they were so heavy and silencing He made me feel colors and Like I couldn't be compared to others But really he was just manipulating my emotions Ruining my ability to trust without so many precautions Drowning me in empty perceptual oceans I thought I couldn't bring myself to get over it But I did and
That's the end.
This is a poem that I started writing over a year ago about an on & off relationship that lasted many years. I just finished it because I got over it and am at peace with the way things ended and how I've moved on.
