Lifetime

Lifetime

I think I misunderstood when you said

we

were God’s plan, fated

maybe you meant

faded

you know

that this love we share would dull

or perhaps, be colorless

without light, like a lunar eclipse

or

when we declared this love

for a lifetime

you meant for a moment in time

I could lament on

our split

but

I much rather reminisce on the good times

like

how you took your hand in mine

as we walked through our park

i remember the moment

my chestnut glazed eyes

peered down

unable to tell our hands apart

do you recall?

or

like your love for me

have memories of us faded too?

it’s okay if you’ve forgotten

cause

i’ll remember

for

a

lifetime.

Sorrow

Brush my tongue

across

cracked lips

see if I

can savor you

but

all I taste

is pain
