Six Words of Distant Love

You’re too far away from me.

I need you so much closer.

I will never stop loving you.

Please say you feel the same.

I sit here; waiting and waiting.

I’m scared you’ll find someone else.

I want you to be happy.

Whatever happens, don’t forget about me.

Four times

You asked me four times
Do you not understand the word
“No”?
You pursued this
You wanted this
But the sober you regrets it
Which made me feel like shit
You even tried to make it look
Like it was all me.
Like I pursued this.
But I did want it.
The alcohol is to blame
For that.
If I was in my right mind,
I would have rejected the offer.
Oh wait, I have
Three times.
So you’re lucky
I was drunk.

I Wish I Could Hate You

My eyes
Are empty,
Shallow, dull,
Emotionless.
Why did you
Take the life
Out of me
When you left?
You don’t need it
You don’t use it
You don’t even
Think about it.
Hell, when’s the
Last time you
Thought about me?
It has probably
been a while,
So fuck you.
And tell her
I said
Hi.

Some Months

March

The last time I read your words

We were in the same room

If only I knew at the time.

January

The last time I heard your voice

Would have been nice to see you

Or at least get an answer.

August

The last time I saw your face

I did not expect that to be

The last time.

Blur

Time goes by so quickly
You blink,
The moment’s gone
Constantly moving on a high speed carousel
Around and Around
Eventually it all becomes a blur
Streaks of color, nothing more

Will be back shortly!

I have an independent project to do for creative writing where I will be using my own photography as inspiration for poetry. so I’ll be posting the photo along with the poem. How exciting.

I do not love you

Nor did I ever

Though I thoroughly enjoyed the times

That we spent together.

It’s those times, I swear

That keep me thinking of you

I cry, I laugh

And hope you miss me too.
