Happy Ending

And in the end,
The sun went down.
We never walked off hand in hand in hand,
We never moved.
Sitting with out legs glowing in the fading light.
Hearts never quickened,
They remained steady and reliable.
We, all of us, remained
Just as we always were.
Elbows digging into the arms of our chairs.
Words fall heavy at our feet,
Laughter dances into the sky.
Our breaths steady and reliable.
We tore the elephant apart
And ate it whole.
We didn’t need company, didn’t want it.
And in the end
I didn’t have to love her.

I wake up only to press snooze
the glaze over my eyes stopping me from feeling anything but empty
the aches in my back from over exhaustion
the words spat at me by the ones dear to me hit my ears but no longer my heart
I only feel around them
laughter with theirs
the fake tears at home pinning me down
taping my mouth shut
prying my eyes open

but little do they know I don't feel any of it
being young *****

I lie awake remembering, wishing I could sleep to forget.

...Is terrifying.
Every line feels like a judgement.
...Is beautiful.
Every line feels like a symphony.
...Is art.
Every line feels like a masterpiece.
...Is pain.
Every line feels like a heartbreak.
...Is love.
Every line feels like a dedication.
...Is me.
Every line, every word, every letter feels like my own.

Your memory becomes
nebulous when
you think about your wrongdoings,
however, it becomes
crystal clear
when remembering mine.

you green-eyed soulmate,
get out of my head,
and my heart,
please.

You think you know someone
until
they do everything in their power
to prove you wrong.
