Perhaps I Loved You a Little Too Much
by j-17
The sentimental yearning of nostalgia
Will never be strong enough to pull you back in.
I used to build dreams about you
I cut my hands on your broken pieces,
Now I have but their scars left to show.
Remorse is strange like forgetting how to breathe
Something once constant is now forever gone
Like losing a limb, my body is unaware of how to move on.
They say if it’s still on your mind, it’s still in your heart
But I’ve known that since the day we left.
The pain of missing someone permanently gone
It is not a pain that yet has a cure.
How bold one gets when we are sure of being loved.
Now I am sure of nothing
Yet I would still drop everything for you.
I am a mess of gorgeous chaos
Perhaps I loved you just a little too much.
