A Gothic Love Poem

(Model: Naomi Tamez)

i didn’t mean to love her.

i didn’t mean to hurt her.

i didn’t mean to leave her in an unmarked grave.

i didn’t mean to break her heart.

i didn’t mean for us to part.

i didn’t mean to make her feel afraid.

i didn’t mean to be offensive.

i didn’t mean to be possessive.

i didn’t mean to drive her away.

i didn’t mean to make her cry.

i didn’t mean to let her die.

i didn’t mean for our love to fail.

i didn’t mean for her ghost to haunt me.

i didn’t mean for her spirit to taunt me.

i didn’t mean to feel so terrified.

i didn’t mean for a lot of things.
