Thus Far... (Poetry Collection)

Bittersweet

No amount of words can make you come back
But I write to somehow extinguish the flame you lit
Though you tried to blow it out
It's a prank candle, that stays lit through the toughest of blows
And I'm tired of fighting it

You bought me a cake
Gave me a couple slices
Then told me it wasn't mine to eat
I was still hungry
I was still fucking hungry

I mean the way you looked at me made my heart melt like wax
It was warm and it was sticky and it was comfort
I know I couldn't look into your eyes without looking away quickly
But you made my heart beat a little faster
And not in the bad way I was so accustomed to

I never fell in love with you
But you know when you meet someone and you just know
You could fall in love with them someday
I knew from the moment I looked in your eyes
That I would... if you'd stay

I wonder if I had brought my impatient heart to a steady beat
And just fucking waited
Would you have stuck around
I wonder why two broken people found each other at the wrong time
And wasted the future in a couple broken kisses
