Love/Heartache Poems

Strings

We took a dive and then we drown
Spin around, turn everything upside-down
Laugh so hard, our hands intertwined
Crazy fun, wildfire fantasies in mind

We promised things we didn't get to keep
It was a high and a fall so deep
We never saw the end of the chapter
Before I knew, it was already over

Maybe we did see it coming our way
Just shrugged it off, not let it ruin our day
We thought our grip was metal strong
So we faced the sharp waves, realized it was wrong

Things happen like flipping pages
Thought I knew you for ages
But no, I only recognized one side of you
I held on it, thought it was all you, all true

The cracks were formed between us, branching bigger and bigger
I let you aim the gun on me, come on pull the trigger
The thin strings between us were burning
I watched you light it more though I'm hurting

I tried to save our frozen hearts, our fragile bones
Breaking down the walls you built with stones
Was it my fault or was it yours?
Why did you leave me alone, battling these wars?

I pulled you close to me, wrapping you with my own string
You cut it all, melting our summer, drying our spring
Thought if I risk my life, give you my memories, you'd turn back
You burned everything though, threw all on fire, erased every known track

I did everything, pushed myself to the very edge
You moved farther away, I wedged and wedged
There was no use in protecting everything
When all you did is destroy every single thing
