Unspoken Poetry

a wish in the abyss

and what if

for just this one time

we listened to our hearts

and how short this life is

love isn't always measured in years

but moments, rather

moments that mean everything

from the time you won

to the times you found love

and jesus christ if you look for love anywhere

you can find it

but true love

that kind that makes you vulnerable

and uneasy and giddy all at once

the kind that rewrites chapters

brings you to your knees

and fucks you up

yet delivers you from Hell

that, is. what. life. is. all. about.

that's what you leave behind

that is your story, your legacy, your ghost

and I

well, I want that

with you.
