i visit smiles of broken promises at the cemetery,
and i stare at the stars like they were always made of nothing
why don't i know that there's some hope left even in the blindest alley?
the rhythm isn't changing with the seasons, nothing's new for me
my head's collecting nightmares, think the vertigo is taking it's time,
but there is not much left that matters, just a thrown away cd
you turned cold because i was never enough for you, was i?
scene change, i see a wedding, everyone dances happily
and i make a toast to another lost friend internally
more and more guests leave until i'm the only one who's left
still slow dance songs are playing, they're an interlude of absence
my dad and i never talked much at all, now broken bonds are all we have
and i slowly think he lost them on the other ocean side
maybe it's time to say, ,,good riddance"
the wedding's now over and as expected, i'm all alone in the entrance
i guess it's all fun and games until the party ends
i open my eyes and i stare at the graveyard again
our souls are still connected though i never looked much like you
would be cool to try yellow, if i didn't know that everything turns blue
once we get older, what we used to love grows colder
is it my mission to forget you or to finally start over?
we were better of apart, but the thought of that keeps me from heeling
it's mid july but i keep getting this december feeling
colored just as grey as your sweater that i am still stealing
when we cut the wrong wire, our failed connection waved for anger
yet i know that, deep inside, i will always be your favorite stranger
there's too much silence between our words, it kinda feels like danger
i'm a satellite in exile, you're my well arranged dealbreaker
you keep the number thirteen so close to your heart
starring in cinemas of frozen tears while we keep drifting apart
before i tried optimism, we were noticeably less close to the stars
almost hitting moon and night, yet still in a poisonous garden
i don't want to be here when the world's gaze on you hardens
but i just know well enough we were expiring from the start
because your soul takes mine into a suffocate pretend boulevard
all of your threatbare solaces slowly deserve that heartbreak award
do you even know that you broke every summer for me?
the sun's shining happily while my soul lays in a fragmented alley
because like the withered roses, all your sorrys start to kill me
between everything that's see through, what's even still real?
you still pretend you're good at sunset solitudes? oh, please
every time you look up, it feels like a heartbreak car crash for me
we're moving in and out of pain
you run and run away until you start running out of space
straighten your pretty facade that you worthlessly extenuate
and you keep talking about ruining your own day?
we both dance blindly, but it's an étude written for somebody else than me
i try to imbue my own pessimism and i constantly fail
my hands shake and get papercuts by your apology wastes
because, nevermind, you just cannot communicate
your heart is a poisened arrow the devil himself made
and you'll wish me nothing more than death when the stars call your name
that's what you'll do until exhaustion floods every piece of me
so don't tell me you love me and don't tell me you're sorry
look at the lengh of this poem about you, is that not all i need to say?

the end of ilyis, already. after only a month, but well, school is draining every little poetry or motivation out of me.
well, i suppose an era is over. but i'll probably publish another poetry collection where i'll write poems once in a while.
have fun counting the easter eggs <3
i wrote this poem with every title of the poems in this collection, so it would have a nice little goodbye.now, it's by far my longest poem with 620 words. it took a while though, so i would apprecciate some feedback!
