Pop Poetry: Love letter #1
March 24, 2022
I want to change.
But changing is hard
To forever restart
in a habitat the same
Waiting for something
To change.
I see her everyday
The one that I was so attached to
It felt like when she breathed I took a breath too
We shared air
We shared everything
Or I should say I gave her everything I could.
That’s how it felt whenever I gave her everything
I wish I could relive it
Every single decision and see
If she would chose me if I chose differently
I think thats why I learned to articulate myself
Because if she taught me anything
Its that words speak louder than you do.
How you say or turn a phrase
can end everything you ever wanted.
That’s how it felt whenever I gave her my everything
The pleasure of pleasing her is all I ever wanted
All I had ever dreamed of and I had it
She was unriled,
Vulnerable to me, and only me
But now I feel like allowing everything to play out the way it did
Made her angry that I did what I did
And I can’t blame her so
I will sit and love her from a far because that is all I can do
I’ve been trying to get out of this thinking
But whenever the opportunity for someone new eventually comes around
And then ends because high school relationships don’t work
Im reminded of you everytime
I long for you it makes me feel crazy
And Im sorry but I dont long for you
I long for the idea of you
I long for “You”, an idea I have created
She is lovely and kind,
With deep deep eyes,
And she makes me want to wake up and
take the medicine im prescribed to stay alive
to dream of her again and again
I’m crazy and I’ve finally gone mad
That’s how it felt whenever I gave her my everything
Giving her everything was basically a rendition of self-love
because the exchange was so fool-proof it was chemically accounted for
That’s how it felt whenever I gave her my everything
I don’t think I’ve ever loved someone as wholeheartedly as I loved you.
That’s how it felt whenever I gave her my everything.
I wish I could give her everything right now.
