longing despite ignorance
Location
your eyes are filled with longing
to escape your past
and maybe your future too
i thought i'd found love when
we first locked eyes
my heart filled with promise and
desire thinking
we'd drop our old lives and
run away
to begin anew together
how foolish and naiive of me
to assume you'd love me and
no one else
i used to melt beneath
your imagined touch
breath stolen from my lungs as i
savor every moment as if they were our last
i fell into a pit headfirst to chase you
waiting patiently as ever for
your kiss
my heart crushing like dried petals
it never came.
