win all of

the wars

say hello to all

the stars

.

and then please

come back to me,

remember we once

were a family

.

i die

you'll cry

but tomorrow

you'll be fine

.

kids grow up

and people give up

and things change

the world does too

.

ten years ago

the universe was ours

and we took a leap of faith

didn't end up going far

.

so at the end,

together means

her forever,

me never,

you clever

.

life played us

we lost

.

because i miss who i once was, writing poetry late at night despite other priorities
