You never let me call you in those last days
Because you didn't want me to see what you had become
As if you'd ever be anyone else than
The man who laughed when I forgot the water in the cake mix
Who knocked me off the couch with his yelling at a football game
Someone with talents and always some good advice
A hero with the strongest heart
Despite it hating you now and then
I'll still remember our final talks
And how you had always said it was your greatest regret
To not live to see what I'd do with my life

I remember your funeral
Somehow I couldn't cry
The only dry eye
I've made up for that as of late
In memoriam

Deeper isn’t deep enough
No effort is good enough
No bad thing is bad enough
To ever make it stop

My power is inevitable
Unfortunately, so is yours
Avery Oct 2019
I let you cry into my shoulder
I listened to your woes
I ignored if I didn't like your jokes
I spent hours hand making
Everything
Sacrificing
Anything
To make me feel I was worthy
All I want is that in return

Blue
Like water flowing
Cooling
Saving
Like the color
I always used to see in your
Eyes

I don't like
How you say my name
Like a twisted greeting
The wrong inviting
But everyone's friends with you
You can't be so bad
Right?

Do you think I require
A special key
To open and tell thoughts
A cheating code
To get twice as far with half the effort
Do you think I need
To be defused
Simply cutting a wire and moving on
Like nothing had gone wrong
Do you even think
No, really
Do you think?
When you cried,
Decided nothing was worth salvaging
From the flames of your misdemeanors
Did you even think
About the fact that raging fire
The fury of flames
That might ensue in others eyes
Hearts
Just please
Get out of my mind
Your failing fallacies of thinking you
Always have to be the hero
Or the victim
With no inbetween
Clearly you’ve been wronged
For you to say and not remember
You’re not the only one with a broken heart
But you are almost alone with your broken mind
No.
Don’t turn my faults on me
With smooth words and dancing
Poetry
You’re not the hero of this plot
But I think that was your ending line
Leave, and try not to ruin
The remains of what might be saved
From the fire you caused
The destruction you gave
