The END of us

The END of us

The love you gave to me was one I never experienced, one my heart had desperately longed for. It took years for you to come by and another yes to be able to be with you.
The pigments of my heart blossomed for you, the ventricles celebrated you, for you acted like a red blood cell, we could fight gallantly against all odds just because you were here.
When our lips joined, my body celebrated you, it tingled at every touch from you, My bones creaked with ecstasy.
And even with the horrifying bars of restriction before us I still yearned for you. I loved to be with you, to hear you laugh, to see you smileā€¦

My heart, she knew you too, your name was tattooed on her fragile walls . You were perfect for me, I could feel it. I know you did too.
In the library, you're in my head, not a distraction...no, not at all but a perfect attraction that glued every tiny detail in those boring and voluminous books to my head. Your love worked wonders.


On the streets, your hands played along the small of my back possessively and I was pleased, my hands fit perfectly in yours as we walked along the streets like we owned it. I was proud of us.
Everything was perfect until the night before the other night you promised to call but never did, I waited for you, I stood along the alleys of frustration and neglect. I knew you were with her, probably doing to her the things we learnt together, the things I thought could only be done with me. I knew it, I felt it. The intuitions, they were so strong. I could hear you through my soul's antenna whispering to her same things you tell me.
It broke me, I lay in bed lonely and drenched in my own bloody tears while you giggled in her bossom!
You came to me on the morro, I saw you from afar, my heart leaped for joy...my man, my *IDeal* man, my comfort. All the pain was gone, the loneliness was gone and my heart somersaulted a thousand times. I loved you so deeply... You smelled like her, on your lips were pitch dark gloss. Hers' too! but I ignore that because I love you fiercely.
You're with me, but your heart's with her. You're smiling at her messages, blushing at her compliments. You hurt me because you know you're my weakness, you know my power switch and you choose to turn them off... On.. Off and on again you hurt me!
Your love for her pierces through my soul it could be worse than an asthma attack 'cause you're taking my breath away in the worst possible way.
I could've died in silence but No! I chose to confront you,
to know where I belong;
in your heart or your hat?
But you look me in the eye and say you're mine. You tell me all you share with her is friendship.
You tell me you're all mine. And once again I'm back in your arms. I love you whole heartedly.

The other day at your event,
you avoided me, but I was there because of you.
I spent three hours mounting layers of mary kay so i'll sweep you off your feet.
I used the red lipstick, the one you love but you never noticed.
You didn't even look at me twice because she was there.
I didn't see her but I felt it. Clearly you love her more but you deny. still I'm crazy in love with you.
I'm out here waiting for you,
You promised to makeup for my birthday you missed, i'm waiting... I'm wailing
I see you, I stalk your page
you're out there with her,
Celebrating your three hundred and sixty fifth day of love together.
They're on your wall, in my face... How could you!
My *IDeal man* My heart is weary, I'm gasping for breath.
You had her yet you came for me, you say you love me yet you lied to me... It feels like a dagger is drawn through my heart several times. I can't breathe I'm drowning

You come to me, you know I know about her, you try to console me by pushing me into this stuffy box where I'm left to suffocate.
You tell me you want me and you like her too you joke about your infidelity
you hurt me, you friendzone me.
You like the sleek of my skin, the adrenaline I possess, how I cling to your ice of heart
but you spit it to my face that I'm not with a handiwork or career
you knew about this yet you chased me.
You made me fall this hard for you.
But you told me I'm the one for you
You say this because she owns a *threading* shop.
I'm only but a scholar,
I need sometime... I have plans!
I see how loved up you are with her,
It kills me, my heart stops beating
I'm dying; a terribly slow and painful death. Could this be the end of us? Could this be the end of what we shared? What we had? How can something so strong end so abruptly. It hurts because you are my first love.
It's the end of us, could this be true?
I'm over you but I miss you.
I want you but this is the end of us.
I can't let you hurt me like this
Hands on my chest I'm more than this
It's your fault you can't see
I can't let you use and dump and use me again.
I need loyalty and it's something you can't afford.
This truly is the end of us.
It's the end of true love.
I know I'm not supposed to miss you but every memoir, reminds me of you.
I'll laugh at the sight of "true love"
Fairy tale!
Cinderella fooled us.
I saw a *message in a bottle* and it reads;
The END of us.
