Someone I fell in love with has chosen
to chase the boundless, sparkling oceans
to a thousand enchanted dreams greater
than mine, to celestial lands filled with
timeless art and poetry, magnificent
mansions, sweet additions of love
multiplying together in the nighttime
tranquility, such thrilling stems, and blooms,
a dazzling destination transforming
your mind into everything that you
desired in life, a bright galaxy amplifying
into countless galaxies immersed
with scintillating discoveries, super
explosive beats dancing at your feet.
You had found infinite happiness
in places that I couldn’t visit,
so far away from me, my feelings
sinking, growing cold, squeezed
syllables, stuttering, ****** into *****
dungeons, lost without you, my voice
trembling, not wanting to be alone,
almost falling, struggling for oxygen
as I held my throat, thoughts of your
loving existence trapped in my consciousness,
dissolving deeper into subconsciousness,
choking verbs, sprained adverbs, uncontrollable
emotions, longing to feel you, to feel your
heavenly kisses, to stop my racing heartbeat,
calm me with your gentle hands, take me
away into your amazing paradise.  I was
running low on love supply, trying to stop
these never-ending tears from oozing out
of my eye socket, searching for an answer
within a million questions, my skin raw
and cracking, dull, unfulfilled, screaming
for assistance, so tired of sobbing, throbbing
nouns recklessly rotating me around
in unsound domains, lovesick, vomiting
large amounts of soggy neckbones, slimy
string beans, rotten chicken salad, and burning
ginger ale.  I couldn’t understand why you
didn’t want to be with me.  We could’ve
persevered through the chaotic conditions,
consoled the swelling storms in your ship,
gave you the air that you needed to breathe,
listen to your various problems and attempt
to solve them.  It hurts so bad to know
that you are never returning back
into my arms, that the affection
we used to share is no longer there,
that you could vanish out of my life
without even giving us a chance.
I guess that’s the way love works,
how you put it all on the line,
believing in fate and time,
that everything will last forever,
that wherever you may go, I would
always be close by, that I would
do anything for you, whatever you
needed, I would give it all to you,
but fate wasn’t on our side when
you chose to abandon me and flow
with the eternal blue oceans, leaving me
brokenhearted, blue, and beaten.
