Destroyed Dreams
By Socket
We had so much potential. So much need.
You for me, me for you. That's how it was once. How it had to be.
Goodbye comes too fast. The future awaited us, waited to punish us for those snatched moments. Time is a curse. My head fills with all our perjured vows. The lies we told each other in faith.
I will each hour to die, because if time ceased, my regrets would stop.
We've got to let go... got to move forward, onward.
Your lips used to cushion mine, now the memories cushion my fall...
You abandoned me, but I left you no choice. We're both to blame.
If I offer my hand, would you take it? If I offer my soul, would you break it? If I submit my forgiveness, would you exempt me? If I use your call sign, will you grow weak, as you once did?
Lee, my clotted love. I was bound and gagged for you. Anything for you, to appease you.
You say you don't want this, then you kiss me hard and press me against the wall of my office.
You say it should never have started, that it must end, but you won't release me. You're afraid of the repercussions and your own strength of feeling.
How many stitches in your lip? What cost the silence?
My love for you was pure. I'll never love so innocently or stupidly again.
I still contain you. Whether I like it or not - your words return to me, like vespers in the night. Tumbling through the air.
You loved me once, purely. Now there are so many twists and turns, conditions and concessions... life has taken our love and battered us with it.
I want to keep you, but must give you away.
We need to be separate. Need limits.
Your future without me awaits... I hope you're happy. I hope it's real.
