#sad love poems

I tasted forever on your tongue, a lie wrapped in lust. A promise never intended to be kept. It faded into a facade, hid behind the hurt I let sit in my throat. You tied pretty pledges on my wrists, wrote your vows on my skin. You let the hope sink in. Let the false future we made run through my thoughts. My heart began to beat for you, drowned in the noise was the breaking. You held me with careless hands, covered your deceit in gold. Our love was a myth to you. A chapter in a book of fiction. A run on sentence begging to end. To you, I was a face you’d forget, a name left in bed. To you, a story swallowed down. A moment meant for a memory. An ending with open arms. To you, I was borrowed time.

Burning Embers from my poetry book She’ll Find the Sky

Your apology means

Nothing

If there is no change

Don’t apologize

For things you will

Only do again

If you change

With no apology

I promise

I won’t bring it up again

But if the past

Repeats itself

You’ll hear about it

Yet again
