A Limit in Words-Poem

[Woah I've never written a poem in this before. Well here we go]

You once asked me

a very long time ago,

under the full moon

and the bright stars,

how much I loved you

And I didn't know how to reply,

or even if I could to

explain it all with words.

Tell you all of it in those

short and limited moments.

I didn't know if I could explain

the little jumps my heart made

every time your lips touched me

or the sideways glances

just to catch you smiling

I didn't know how to tell you

how much happiness and sunshine

you've brought into my dark world,

what terrible fates and horrors

that you've managed to save me from.

All the butterflies you made flutter

in my stomach, even to this day,

and all the tears you wiped away

when I wiped away yours.

The dark days were better

with you by my side.

And so I just stood there,

gaping at you with wide eyes,

before I simply said,

"I don't know."

Didn't explain the thoughts

that still whirl around in my head

You turned and stared at me

with glistening tears in your eyes.

You were quiet for a moment

And said something that

made my heart crack

slowly but surely.

"I see how it is.

You don't want this any more

than I do? Right?"

When I was quiet again,

shocked by your words,

and you left.

I'm sorry for my mistakes;

I'm sorry for not thinking.

I just want you here with me,

and put the broken pieces

of my shattered heart together.

But you won't, not again.

Life really doesn't go our way
