In an Ideal World You Would Have Fought for Me

Posted on Updated on

There is something tragic about being a hopeless romantic

Something tragic about seeing stars as they were forty years ago

Twinkling at us

As if they are really in the present

The night sky is full of

What once was

Stellar memories haunting us with their glow

Your olive eyes are coated in these stars

Aftershock

He checked himself in

On the corner of

Denial & devastation

To the heart break hotel

3 days ago

Because he can’t get

His thoughts in chronological order

He’s been having a hard time

Keeping his head up straight

Too weighed down with hoarded memories

Scattered emotions

Scrambled like silly string

He can’t move on until he cleans up the mess

Lodged in like mold

So he’s been pouring his heart out

Like dirty bath water

Taking drives down winding back roads

To help with the asphyxiation of heartbreak  

But the seat next to him screams with emptiness

Her warm body

A phantom

Was it ever real?

It tugs at him

Pulling the knot inside tighter and tighter

With each phone call

Buzzing

Begging him to pick up

His heart drops further and further

Down into oblivion

Because he wants to

Be mad

He should be

Mad at her

But he can’t

He just wants to answer

To push it under the rug

To forgive

But he’d never be able to untangle the mess

And she needs to know

That it’s not okay

She can’t mess up someone like this

And go on like it can all be forgotten

She needs to fucking know

That this feeling can’t ever be forgotten
