You used to say it was ****. You’d get this gleam in your eyes as you kissed me ******* the lips and rubbed the back of my head; but not anymore. We had our laughter and drunken songs, but as always, the end seeps in. The poet in me hopes one ******* thing will last forever. It started with complaints, then resentments and almost hatred. It’s sad. There was a time when the love was gooey—like chocolate in the sun. We had an amazing ****** chemistry. we were like dogs in heat. We ****** everywhere: swimming pools, the grass, the beach, the hospital, our tent, other people’s tents. Something was always missing though, and *** couldn’t fix it.. The end felt like swans dying, like butterflies burning. I always imagined us more like Bonnie and Clyde than Romeo and Juliet. It doesn’t really matter, same ill fate. ****, who were we kidding? Lovers inevitably get their turn in hell.
