No More Goodbyes by StephenP(m): 5:32pm On Nov 05, 2008
I pocketed the realities that we were not meant to be,
Waved the white flag of inevitable defeat because dreams of us seemed to retreat,
Drowned in my unshed tears,
Lost in a wasteland of fears and adversities.
You were once the compass that guided me when I couldn’t find my way,
And now I lay
Misplaced in a wonderland of nocturnal behavior.
Eyes staring into empty walls,
Delusions of who we were plays tricks with my senses,
Hence, this is my unavoidable fall into a love story of you and I.
I can still hear your laughter,
Faint visions of your smile cloud my thoughts,
The taste of your lips have become pleasure shots that keep me sedated.
I’m addicted.
You tickle my imagination with memoirs of “what ifs”
As if rewriting history mentally will bring about physical relief,
Instead I strangle in disbelief,
How did we get here?
Get to a place where it hurts too much to care,
Where your burden wasn’t ours to bear?
Where discourse was lost in translation
Because you felt it unclear when I said
I am a gigavolt of passion
I’ll keep you satisfied
360 degrees of love
Unending and un-denied
Seventy-seven times full of forgiveness
I am geared up to endure
Ready to take a front seat to life with you and explore
Let’s throw away our goodbyes and replace them with sweet dreams
Nothing is better than making up, you bring the strawberries and I’ll bring the cream
Instead of reminisce apart about what could have been
Let’s write a new chapter together
A fairytale filled with heartfelt things
I don’t want a goodbye
I much rather prefer a happily, realistically non-fiction, ever after
