us. 10/21

you’re bedroom felt quiet

the curtains let the sun warm us

together we laid on your king sized bed

with our thoughts mindlessly running around the room

hearing your heartbeat awaken my heart

I couldn’t help but feel bad

This wasn’t right

We weren’t right

seeking around, whispered thoughts, and passed letters

everything felt wrong

Living in a fantasy I didn’t want to be in anymore

Yet, I stay laid on your chest

the love you gave me

I couldn’t ask more

The attention you gave me

I wanted more

You wanted more

moving faster than a shooting star

let’s go, you said

you grabbed my hand, rubbing your fingers on my palm

convincing words couldn’t fool me

you left heartbroken that night

I never let you into my mind again

Yet, you kept the key after I changed the lock

will you leave? I ask

after the lock is fixed

some things are meant to be fixed people may say

but how can you fix what you broke?
