bittersweet » poetry

too often we do this.

darling,

he never loved you.

you let those gentle lips caress your own

but never did he once think of you.

cheap thrills and quick sensations 

just to ease the temptations

love was a lie

you held between your lips

& although he felt your lips

he never felt your love.

i know you know this

and let yourself drown in it

but 

if you keep adding water to the flood

you'll never swim out

& reach the surface 

never have the sensation of breathing

keep on gasping for air 

let your lungs collapse

let yourself fall apart

and realize that it's only you to blame.

silly girl.
