and one day
your name didn't ignite the stars
in my eyes anymore
and in its place
was an ache
that reverberated
deep in my bones
and i was foolish
for i thought if i could love someone
and keep loving them
without being loved back
then that love had to real
for it hurt too much to be anything else
than love
little did i know
the heartache
swollen, red eyes
the insomnia
were signs my body was physically rejecting you
for you were dangerous
you were poison to me
but i mistook
the symptoms and
fashioned them into
something they're not
i built a mirage from a memory
romanticized the past
and trapped myself
in fleeting sentiments
little did i know
what i called love
was nothing but
false hope
