Warm mug of phantom Poetry Episode 11: falling out of love
I wish savored your lips
I wish I gave you one more kiss
I should have memorized your skin against mine
I should have asked you for more time
I wonder if in a few months you'll forget me
And I'll be a distant memory
I want know if you really meant that you wanted us to be just friends or if in a few years it all come crashing to an end
We'll go our separate ways
Lie to eachother about how everything's okay
Do you think we'll miss the other
Or will we force ourselves to move on with another
Cause I don't want to try this anymore,
This searching only to end up at closed doors
your voice is in my head
As I imagine lying in your bed
Us saying those 3 Words
But now I want to leave them gone and unheard
I can't erase your face
I miss the way that you taste
This just doesn't feel fair
Why am I stubborn? why do i care?
If I pretend it isn't real
Maybe it will fix itself and we'll quietly heal
But it's happened its in the past
Like summer it's not going to last
Fall will arrive with it's dying leaves
We'll grow again find new pieces
I'm just waiting for the funeral
When the body won't feel so dull
When I look into the coffin and see our love
And how in an instant it finally came undone
What we dont say
We don’t say I love you
We don’t say I miss you
We don’t say I’m thinking of you
Sometimes we don’t even say good night
That’s not even polite
I send you well wishes
You’ve left my emotions needing stitches
We act like just friends
If only i had this end
If i could rewind
If we had just taken our time
If we could just say it again
I love you my friend
You’ll always be more to me
You helped set my heart free
Picked me up when I would fall
Listened to my boundaries and walls
I swear you gave it your all
But you said you didn’t get the butterflies
So now I’m stuck here about to cry
My heart still flutters
Some nights i still mutter
They come out in a stutter
Those 3 words
Its probably absurd
Cause you don’t feel the same way
I wish I was okay
I wish you could stay
I wish i didn’t have to go away
You say you’re still here
But i don’t see you any where
Kisses don’t feel the same
The numbness is to blame
Why are we dragging this through the earth
Letting it collect mud and dirt
I don’t hate you
I never will
Yet still
I wish it was different
Cause we don’t say the things we used to
We dont say the things that matter
As we grow apart we both grow sadder
I wanna run and get out
Figure out how to forget about
The nights in bed
The things you said
The hugs that were so long
How you hold me and it still doesn’t feel wrong
I look into your eyes
I could live in the feeling of being mesmerised
Take my hand
One last dance again
But we don’t
We wont
We don’t say the things we used to
And i still love you
lead on
the longer i stay
the more youll get hurt
yes i love you
love the way your lips feel
love the way you smell
love the way you laugh
love the way your voice feels against my ear when we lie next one another
love the way your hand fits in mine
love the way you smile
staring into those blues grey sometimes green eyes, i couldnt see my life without you
but when you are lying next to me
sometimes i dont want to have sex
sometimes i just want to hold you close and cry
but the longer i hold your hand
the longer i kiss you
the longer i keep you laughing
the longer i stare into your eyes
the more i wish i could tell you the truth that this hurts
that sex hurts
by saying nothing i am finding myself each day hating who I am
you dont deserve someone awful like me
who will never crave you the wave you crave me
i dont even see myself as a girl, you think i am a girl, but i dont feel like a girl
i am not always attracted to men atleast not sexually or maybe im not attracted to you
but i like you
i just dont want to have sex with you’
but i need you to let me go
To the one I cant let go of
I’m sick of telling this lie
Faking okay as you leave and walk on by
I don’t wanna cry
I sit in bed unable to try
