love.ly

i knew when we started
that we'd be unwhole.some, departed

before i'd try to write the wrongs
i'd bask you'd ask and i'd
sing unspoken melodies of
tragic angst
my speciality

as it so happens
goes
tick tock these embers flow

burn you feel
goodness i do too

got a little too close for comfort
here and there i feel my feet
to these coals i rose
and i came crushing
barreling down toward an
agonizing defeat

i bought my lines
my lies
my you
and when you ended
you ended
gave me
me

and i was left with the shadow
the faint imprint
of a boy who once could
gloriously conjure
a love potion
so powerful
it'd magically move mountains make men
move
to be near

but lets get authentic
and unrule this demented
twisted fated fairy
tale that we wove so generously

together
we ended smacked
against these lines
we've towed

and you know
i knew that it was over when
it started;
that we'd be departed

in eight minutes, months, maybes
or more....
