Once upon a time, I fell into a wormhole.
When I landed on the other side, I awoke within your sunny green eyes.
As I stared in wonder, I felt for the first time ever something deep inside, a tight ache within my chest.
A string woven from your smile, intertwined between the atrium's of my heart.
From that moment on, I would live to assure that smile never faltered.
I came to learn everything about you, from the way you purse your lips in abstract focus,
To the silence that falls upon you in the early hours of the warm mornings.
Our every encounter burned onto my skin, a walking collage of every kiss, of every touch.
My heart strings you played beautifully, as softly as you spoke to me.
Malleable I became, yearning to be everything you could ever dream of,
My very essence shaping around the orbit of our bodies and thoughts.

Then I felt you cut my lifeline, your words fell upon shattering eardrums.
And here I sat, a fool with a knotted heart, bleeding misery and confusion.
Wishing with all my heart your words were a cruel joke.
I stopped to laugh, as I realized I never meant anything to you.
Our future was nothing other than a one-sided fantasy,
While she sat triumphantly, holding your attention that was so easily given.
Clearly you were otherwise occupied.
But my lovely dream, think back to that cold January day, when tears fell like rain,
When I offered you my remaining broken heart, my final plea,
A love that still shone through every single blow,
and Please, Don’t Forget Me.
