All this grieving is achieving nothing In the unimaginable void that grew between two people Who knew right from the start But simply weren't ready to play their parts Now each day I try to cope Steady my nerves and try not to revoke All the words I stood by solemnly In a time that now seems dead to me You were the heartbeat that kept me up at night Now you're the shadow cast by the light in every room You are gone, but the taste of you lives on And I spend my days trying to forget For every memory is a stab in my very fragile chest The thought of a day that would bring happiness without you Is a bitter pill to swallow, although one I must accept Unless you too are sat there Thinking all the same thoughts that I do Then I ask now are you ready To play the part I wrote for you ~ 100 days of poetry ~ Day Thirty Six #ojtapoetry
I made love He fucked I made promises He spoke words I committed He ran away I regretted He moved on I had loved He’d desired I’d enriched He’d drained I told my truths He wrote his I’d fought He’d fled I learned By God, I hope he learned . . . ~ 100 days of poetry ~ Day Thirty Five #ojtapoetry
Last night I thought about messaging you For the first time in a long time The temptation lay on my fingertips like a heavy burden Waiting impatiently to be offloaded onto some place new But the power's been in my hands for so long now That I'd rather cut my veins to watch them bleed Than hand over the blade to you Again . . . ~ 100 days of poetry ~ Day Thirty Four #ojtapoetry
Turns out it’s not enough to merely love someone You have to hold their heart in your hands And restrain yourself from crushing it to death In the heat of many moments Turns out loving someone takes patience Many moons cannot withstand Turns out loving you is costly A price I never knew I couldn’t afford Until I’d bankrupted myself for just a taste Turns out love is a crushing blow When it’s all you have to give And there’s no reward for giving . . . ~ 100 days of poetry ~ Day Thirty Three #ojtapoetry
