PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i didn't mean it when i said it.

i don't want you to move on

but there ain't no use treading

when you've been holding on too long.

all i wanted was your heart

but it was never mine to keep.

you're a free bird flying high

while i can't make it off my feet.

i wished to join you, for whatever

you were planning to do with life.

i was thinking about forever,

am i a fool for holding tight

when you told me to get go?

oh, i'm a fool

for loving someone i hardly know.

such a fool for playing it cool

when all i wanted was you.

you were magic in a bottle,

i was always second string.

how awful it is to love unconditionally.

i will never get over you.

i will try finding you in others,

i'll fail.

i will always feel like i'm settling

for the silver medal.

you are terrifying, and proud.

what could have been

has been burned.

but i know,

much to my dismay,

i will still try picking up the ashes.
