Shitty Poems

I Used To Build Dreams Around You

Do you remember those nights

When we would text into the small hours

Dreaming up a future

With each other?

I can't remember half the things we said

But the joyous sensation it sparked within me

Is as vivid as it was when I first experienced it.

Do you remember the days

When we would walk with no direction for hours

Filling the air with easy conversation

And revelling in the fact that

Someone was there.

Someone that saw me for what I was

And liked it.

Someone who would participate

In all the cheesy, romantic things I insisted upon doing.

Do you remember?

I used to build dreams around you.

We built a life around each other.

Back then, I couldn't imagine a life without you

And now, I still can't imagine it.

We're slowly drifting apart

Because I guess some things just aren't meant to be.

Do you remember when we believed that we were soulmates?

And by God, we might have been.

We fit together so perfectly,

We worked together so seamlessly.

I don't know what went wrong

I don't know when exactly it happened

But everyday, I wake up alone.

It seems that all the colours I swim in

Are dull and muted.

I hate that you can affect me this much.

I can't imagine a life where you didn't and don't though.

But I did see lively colours after we were through

Perhaps it was because, at that time

I loved.

I feel that I have so much love to give

But no one wants it

But who would want it from me anyway?

I have nothing to offer

No reasons for being with me to sell

My own soulmate didn't even need it

Or did you?

How would I know?

You talked to me again, so maybe...

Maybe you just needed to get something or someone

Off of your conscience

Maybe you just wanted to make peace?

Maybe you wanted something hilariously pathetic

For you and your new friends to laugh at.

Do you remember when you needed my love?

Or did that time never even exist?

Do you remember us?

Did you build dreams around me?

Do you remember when I built dreams around you?

And do you remember

When we both opened our eyes

When we both found the difference between a fantasy and reality

When we saw the fabric of the lies we told ourselves rip

When we started to forget what we had dreamt about

When we both woke up from those dreams.
