Here Is To Past Lovers

Folder: 
L.O.V.E The Lie

There was something about you,
Black hair swinging and laughter
that just promised pain and joy,
And I’ve never been one,
To listen to warnings.

I felt so safe in your arms,

The way you fit under my chin,

The way you understood me,

Your hand fit perfectly in mine,

Small and making my knees weak.

 

The way you liked to kiss other people,

In locker rooms with my best friend,

With exes that kissed harder,

The way you begged me to stay,

Because no one treated you better.

 

There was something forbidden,

Something that made me feel,

When all I wanted to do was die,

Isn’t that how all stories go,

When we convinced ourselves of love?

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I still write poetry about you, Savanna. Not that you'll ever find this.

Lovely write so full of daring and shoulds and shouldn'ts: yes love all is confusion but so clear, what a lovely gamble you have written for the reader of your poem here.

If your mirror doesn't find you one of the most beautiful people it has ever seen, punch it and find a better mirror.

Your poem would be a lot

Your poem would be a lot happier. Despite what you think, you weren't a complete bitch unlike the person this is dedicated to. You were wonderful, we just didn't work.

 

Seriously, you are still amazing.

 

Love,
