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.
