Don't promise me forever because forever never lasts.
Just hold me for the time being so I can cherish this moment.

My love, my forever is spent on your arms..
and in your smile.

But darling, I find that forever exists everytime you whisper
I love you.
If
I could keep writing you poems you'll never read

Or I could put my pen down and bandage my own heart

Either way, I would still lose because I wouldn't have you

Drink one
My eyes grow heavy
I sit in a fold out chair
In the corner of the living room

Drink two
I zone out
To the sound of the rest of my family getting riled up about who knows what
I want to join in
But then again
I don't

Drink three
Things start to get fuzzy
My words slur
I decide to join in after all

Drink four
It's probably a bad idea
To say whatever comes to mind
Laying on the bathroom floor

Drink five
This was supposed to be fun
Not a nightmare
My sister cries into my cousin's arms
As I laugh to myself

*Blackout
i have an incredible urge to write
not sure what to talk about
whether i should talk
about your face
or the way
you make
my emotions
run all over
the place

or about your eyes
how they make
me smile
when i am down

maybe i should write
about how much
i despise the love
i have for you
because all you do
is not love me
and that makes me sad
very much so
because you are
the bright star i see
in the sky at night
when i can't sleep
you are the touch
i feel in my dreams
you are the angel
that makes me well
when i am under
a troubling spell

i guess i could write
about how sick
it is to feel so
traumatized
by the quick fix
i found in your love
you are a drug
the only one
i'll take
no questions
asked
i will take
even if it takes
my last breath
you're worth it
i guess
you are
my weakness
you are
my goddess

epic feel in my veins
are you in there, babe?
gosh, i swear
you were here
not so long ago
hello, hello
miss stranger
who i love so

rambling on
about your love
even though
you're gone
it's been so long
since i've had
this creative buzz
i used to think
i would sink
without your heart
caressing mine
darling valentine
nah
but you were mine
once upon a time
unless that was a lie

what am i even writing?

oh yes

a letter to the one
i love
who's gone

she won't be reading
this letter of mine
it'll be here
where
she won't find

she's moved on
i'm still here
rambling on

poetry?
short story?
i don't know
but i do know
that i love her so
i can't let her go
my heart bleeds for her
to repair all the tears
and damages
all the wounds
old and new
fix me
like i
fixed you

— The End —
