my first love.

You might’ve crossed my mind today but I’ll never confess for sure
The pain you caused was quite the ache
I almost didn’t make it out alive
But I danced my way through the darkness, all my feelings I learned to surrender to the rain
This cruel world has ways of making us remember
The songs still linger
When my soul is feeling a bit reckless I pick up my tired limbs and sway
I picture bleeding skies above, blue and gold hues reaching down to join my lead
I’ve worked so hard to forget the many freckles that make up your complexion
What a shame it would be to turn back
Your love I was always meant to lose

◄ Empty.

A Poet worth breaking for ►
