PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I used to cover the whole

world, but what I couldn’t see

was that my leash just went that

far, wrapped around your center of gravity

because you wanted me to

see everything I’d be missing

when you reeled me in like a

dog with a tucked tail

But you made me choose

and it tore me apart

Running to the edge of the earth in my

dreams, I’ll drown myself in aqua blue

and hope that choosing is

no more evil than your eyes,

the eyes that once held mine

like they were rare and needed and beautiful and I

should have known, I’m not

rare just a human who has to

make selfish decisions like this one,

but then again the aqua blue has

told me exactly what I need,

I want your sweet breath

and bare infinities and intense

perfection, but I need to be

free.
