All We Have Left

A breath of fresh air

Born from Friendship

And teasing words

❀

Your lips turning upward

Me thinking it reached your eyes

❀

You pull me close

You pull me close, you pull me close

And it only means something

When I am suddenly far

❀

My arms are reaching

My vision is blurring

How can someone be

So distant and so near?

❀

My poetry is practically

Writing itself now

Please don't take a

Match to the pages

❀

Your hands look like they

Have carried entire worlds

Why can't they hold me too?

❀

Here are my words

The only ones my poetry

And my heart and my hands

Agree with - I love you

Please don't tear them apart

The letters don't look so good

On the own

(Neither do I)

❀

My heart is reaching

The lines blurring

Why can't reality be

Like my dreams?

❀

I hand you grenades as if

They can cause as much

Damage as you did

❀

Please come back

Not to stay but to

Tend to my injuries

❀

Please give me an explanation

And I'll give you my forgiveness

Its all we have left

(So stop holding onto it)
