Love said it’ll always be here

Love said it’ll always be true

But love left,

And I said nothing but thank you.

Love came on a bright afternoon,

with coffee and chocolates.

Love taught me how to read,

made me fall in love with books

And I said nothing but thank you.

Love made me breakfast in bed,

Sang me songs when I couldn’t sleep,

Love believed in me when I didn’t

And I said, again, thank you.

Love, entangled itself around me

like the vines of grape plant

and made me forget things

what I shouldn’t remember anyway

And I said nothing but thank you.

​​But now; love is gone

And love says, it’s her, and not me,

But how can it be her when it’s clearly me

when I’m the one scared

scared to feel, scared to stand

scared to sleep, scared to dream

but how can it be her when it’s clearly me

whose stomach hurts all night

from the way I ache for it to be held

the way love ​used to.

I’ve been told to forget

Do I forget reading​? No

Do I forget smiling? No

Do I forget being happy? No

No, I will not

cause how can I break myself again

for it took while so much effort to complete me

i might have a love sized hole in my soul

and i know it has spaces to be filled

but it was filled once, and it would be again

and I only want to say thank you

Thank you for showing me worlds I didn’t believe in.

Thank you love, for making me understand me.

Thank you love, thank you for stopping by.​​
