POEM 204: THIS IS HOW YOU LET GO AND REGRET LATER
to cherish so much, so true
to sing 'together forever'
and give pinky promises
to anticipate the first time
and imagine the bliss of cloud nine
to meet and heartbeats race for cuddles and kisses
to steal what's ours
and steal away before dawn dawns
to watch one suffer in silence
for want of more that'll never come
to be far away from what was expected
and what was seen
to be there as he slowly fall to the rubble
of many emotional trouble
to hear voices that never spoke
when he tickled your wet fold
to withdraw from further fires
and freeze up in scriptural ice
to reach out again
but rather too late
because the tides pulled him away
further and further from hope
into another dame's home
to never ending spiral of regret
his hurting heart slipping
from your fingers typing
messages he'd read and bleed
to nights of pillow wetting
with tears he would've evaporated
to days, to months, to years
of talking to your shadow
in low remorseful tones
It isn't your fault that love turned sour
but blood still runs
cisterns still breaks
ducts still burst
you still remember
he was the one you lost forever
