First Love

I started writing this when we were still together

The sad thing is that a lot has changed in a week without you.

It always started with how

before you my life was silence,

there wasn't any rhythm or serenity that came from song.

 

- I've changed it now.

 

During you, everything was music, and vibrancy, and just-

happy. Then sad.

 

Now that you're gone I've returned to my primary state.

I feel like the shell of something that used to be. Like whatever I was has crawled out and moved on away.

 

My old best friend got drunk last night and sent me a message telling me how much he loved me;

                                                                 because I was pretty,

                                                                                          ****** up."

I wouldn't blame that on you though, because it's been a work-in-progress for

                       7 years now. You just splashed some more of that onto the already ****** artwork. Someone said that I should start thinking of people as art,

but I'm still failing to see how I could be anything like art myself.

 

But you,

you were a masterpiece-

signed with an expiration date.
