Whilst negotiating with my crowded bookshelf to make room for PO6, I realized I have a strange habit of talking to my books. And yet they never answer. Out loud, at any rate.

Anyways, more freeverse. Henri, who has endless poetic possibilities, but I've chosen this one. Just A Kiss, Lady Antebellum and Nickelback's Photograph were playing in the back of my head when this was being concocted. Just so you know.

Disclaimer: It makes me so sad, but I don't own LL. *sigh*


again


you have to go

you have to leave

because they need you and

why can't she understand?

you have to go

and you don't want to

but you need to

because they're depending on you

and you're depending on her

and pleaseplease just understand

why won't she understand?

you're so sorry

but you're going and she's staying

and pleasedon't say no

please understand

and you're rambling

stumbling over these meaningless words

but she understands you

that you have to go

and her voice cracks

and she breaks you into a million glass shards

and all you want to do

is stay right here

for her to glue you back together again

but you can't

you have to go

leavesaybye

but you don't want to go like this

broken into pieces

so you kiss her

and she kisses you

and nothing else matters

but her mouth on yours

and your hand in her hair

her legs around you

and your hearts beating against each other

and you don't know whose tears are whose

and you neverwanttoleave

but it hurts so bad

it stings and tears you into shreds

and you realize

she's broken too

and your pieces are rubbing against each other

and it hurtssobad

and all the kisses you'll never get pour out

through your cracks

all the mornings without her

all the days you won't have

into this one kiss

long&hard&passionate&deep&neverending

and you don't want to go

because you love her so hard

it hurts

and you might explode with how much

you want to stay

but they need you

and you need her

and she needs you

but you have to go

so you pick up your

broken shards

and you know that some of them are lodged in her heart

and you'll be leaving part of yourself behind

but you have to go

so you

say

goodbye

you never see her again.
