two days?
how can such a time feel like an eternity
it's simple when joined at the hip
transfigures itself into permanent separation
lovely, beautiful, compassionate
all words you spoke not 48 hours ago
now all that's left are antonyms
disgusting, ugly, hateful
on my knees i beg
what changed?
what makes a heart grow so cold?

someone will drive you around the same roads i did
under streetlights at 4am
where our love was
where our love never was

to parks we sat in
wherein we spoke words of compromise
understanding and compassion
where our love was
where our love never was

in your apartment
i held your hands so gingerly
and spoke words of endless devotion
where our love was
where our love never was

//

in your arms
in my mind
in your heart
the place where our love was
the place where our love never was

I don't know when I'll be ready
Stopping this feeling of sad and blue
Whenever I write poems
They're always about you

It took one month in your company
For us to call it quits
Yet I still sit here
Full of reminisce

I spent nine months thinking you were the one
Or at least, a person I could be with
But now it seems that not even a smith
Could repair what has been damaged forthwith

Where have you been?
I'm always craving
Your response
Stop it
You stay
Stomping on
The friendship I want
For us
Why can't you just
Let me love
Family is few and
far between
What have we become?

build up your walls
make me just another face.
i'm so tired of feeling stuck
without your warm embrace

praying, this week i've spent
yet despite my pleas
you stil won't relent
to speak of our love

where it couldn't be
where it shouldn't be
where it wouldn't be.

i awake from another dream
my hurried cries pushing me forward
the time has finally come
to cease this wretched separation

a plan, an agreement, a meeting.
the two halves will spill forth
all of the words bottled and unsaid
lest the weight of errant hearts pull us down
from our self created pedestals of righteousness.
i'll extend my hand in friendship and eternal dedication,
will you reach out and take it?
