#shortlived
I loved you all these years before,
And I’ll love you forevermore;
You, the one I’ve been searching for.
I will love you forevermore.
And as long as I’m alive, I’ll feel it,
I always feel it when I close my eyes.
By ‘it’ I mean your kiss on my lips.
Because that kind of love never dies.
Having known love, I have changed
Because people never stay the same.
And deep in the recesses of my brain,
Here will be a space for your name.
And I have been changed forevermore,
Because I loved him all those years before.
And it was her at a time that I adored,
But I will always love them forevermore.
Finding comfort in relationships that end,
I’m so grateful that you were my friend.
And in a way, you still are my friend.
I invested love in the time that we spent.
No, we don’t ever talk anymore.
But I reminisce over forgotten lore.
And while it wasn’t what I searched for…
I will love you forevermore.
And when I decompose,
Love will warm my bones.
And it will keep me warm,
Now and forevermore.

I’m missing how it used to be
How you’d seek me out like a little puppy
The sparks flying between us like fireworks
Anticipation building as we engaged in conversation
Then it finally happened on a steamy summer night
The curiosity we had about our bedroom manners
Discovered in an instant moment of gratification
Our bodies tangled as mouths and tongues tasted one another
But as expected things fall apart
We’ve slowly morphed into distant acquaintances
You pay me a visit only when you need to vent
As I listen in silence about the woman you love and hate
Laying wide awake in my bed
Thoughts of you take me over
Pleasing myself at the thought of your mouth
Gifting wet kisses to that sweet spot
You can’t deliver your message to my face
That this short lived connection was just that
Ceasing your exploration of me and my body
Our association has reached its final stop

Quite ironic how I peg the different states in my life against the day that you were no more.
I had been disillusioned by the various moving parts of life only to recently realize that my admiration for you was the only thing that stayed. I left, despite my plea, thinking that it would be best for both of us. I don't regret doing so, because I know that we are both benefiting from this decision.
I, however, still wonder if the future still holds something interesting for us. Friendship? Lovers? I don't know. I am tempted to check up on you, to find the individual that I once knew and loved. But for the very same reason, I still believe that it won't be best for us. I patiently wait for the moment when this won't be the case. If the stars align just right, with the Good Lord smiling on us, perhaps
we can revisit the stage we once knew.
You were a delight and sadly, our love was shortlived.

I lay back at night
I wonder what it would be like
If I heard what others heard
saw what they saw
If at night mother really cooked
and brothers weren't hooked
where hugs and kisses
were real
If dad didn't have to run
and could stay for the fun
where lights were on
and food wasn't gone
If with child mother stayed
and dreams didn't fade
where children stayed children
for the rest of their days
The moment ends
as quickly as it begins
for the baby calls out
to my sister I must tend

I guess some people are just too amazing to live what’s considered a full life.
Maybe even God gets too jealous to handle the truth.
It cannot be denied that some people who were taken,
Shouldn't have been taken away.
Some people get stolen right away from us.
Leaving us feeling like they've literally been torn from our grasp.
Without them we’re a glass half empty.
We don’t want to say half full because it’s not at all happy.
