nevertheless, she preached


You were my only hope,

hope is a strong word.

Words swarm around my body,

Body isn’t good enough,

enough for you,

you are enough for my standards.

Standards are normally of beauty,

beauty shouldn’t be,

be you, that’s all that I need.

Need you, that’s how I spend my days.

Days are filled with my love,

love is the one thing you couldn’t give.

Give me nothing,

nothing is all I ask,

Ask me for everything,

everything you want, I will.

Will you give me something in return?

Return me to a place of happiness,

happiness I never feel.
Feel the clutch of your hand,

Hand on my neck,

Neck tilts,

Tilts closer.

Closer towards your face.

Face of wonder,

wondrous love,

love the way your lips graze my lips,

lips used to be.

Be mine again,

Again and again you leave.

Leave me alone,

alone, I am.

Am I afraid to be lonely?

Lonely. Who wants to feel that way…

Way of life,

Life expects you to get married,

married to the man of your dreams.

Dreams get crushed,

Crushed because that man wasn’t your dreams,

Dreams don’t exist.

Existing is hard,

Hard to breathe,

Breathe in and out.

Out there, in the real world,

World is complicated.

Complicated feelings,

Feelings aren’t a fairytale.

Fairytales don’t matter in life,

Life throws you around,

Around and around they throw you to the bottom.

Bottom of it all,

All of you,

You sit there.

There you are, at the very last.

Last crushed you,

You wanted that fairytale ending.

Ending of it all, is last place.

Place in life is where you feel complete,

Complete in us.

Us, sounds wonderful.

Wonderful, the things we would do together.

Together we could take on the world,

World takes us down.

Down is all I ever feel,

Feel my lips against yours one more time.

Time is changing,

Changing and moving fast.

Fast is a word you always understood.

Understood how to move a relationship too quickly,

Quickly you rushed,

Rushed into something I wasn’t ready for.

For life,

Life and the real world.

World scares my soul,

Soul of sadness.

Sadness I didn’t want to feel,

Feel of you made me happy,

Happy I once felt.

Felt a world of love in you,

You made me feel so much,

Much of nothing, now.

Now I’m destroyed,

Destroyed from a bad place,

Place of anger.

Anger I now feel,

Feeling loneliness.

Loneliness I hate.

Hate that you did that,

That I can’t seem to go on,

On from the struggle of us.

Us doesn’t exist anymore.

Anymore, it’s hard for me to breathe.

Breathe in your love,

Love has destroyed all hope,

Hope is a strong word.
