There was this donut shop.

You took me there on one of our first dates

or whatever you want to call it.

No one has ever taken me to a late night place like that.

it is totally me.

Food.

you knew the way to my heart.

that became one of our places.

overtime we stopped going.

our love for the donut shop sort of faded

I guess our love started to fade too.

I'll never forgive myself.

for the wrongs that I have done.

and neither will you.

but that's okay.

why we thought it would be okay to meet at a place that

held such wonderful memories

to talk about

how we are not together.

to talk about my wrongs

to talk about your rights.

to talk about where we faltered.

and the last time we met,

I told you, you would be okay.

that you would find a love like ours.

and you whispered under your breath

after shaking your head,

"it only took 20 years"

We sat in silence.

and I knew

that it would never be the same ever again.

as much as you love me

as much as I love you

We both knew that it was done.

So we sat a little longer

knowing that neither of us wanted to leave

but knowing that we had too

cause it was better for the both of us.

We said our last goodbye

and held each other once more.

I turned around

door closed and you were gone.

I guess it goes full circle.

where we once loved deeply

it only felt right to end things

where they began.

the donut shop.

looks like another night alone
a heavy eyed boy moving heavy boxes into your home
“i’ll see you tomorrow, love, when the light is new”
never felt as good as waking up next to you
but the way you crawl into my bed each time you come
well both those heavy eyes and i become undone
and you can blame it on things like running away
online, lost and found, reward, posted today
and wanted posters hanging around town
yeah, you’ve been around town
and i’ve been waiting up for you
but lover, i’ve gotta put you down
drink until that mark on your neck starts to fade
purple never looked good on you anyway

— The End —
