i can't love you

i can't love you
Photo by Cullan Smith on Unsplash

it was always this and that

nothing seemed to stick around

and when you thought it just might,

the love crashed even harder

it never made sense

because it never even began

life didn’t exist

it was dead from the beginning

so it was never real

we allowed our own fantasies

to play tricks on our minds

and we fell for it

we fell straight to the bottom

and died once more

it started to become a game

a psychological and manipulative

mind fuck of a game

where our demons got the best of us

and we stayed trapped for years

in this thing called love

so i can't love you anymore

not this time, not ever again

because surely nothing lasts forever
