I’m sorry I couldn’t love you
The way someone should have.
You loved me in countless ways,
Endlessly.
Candles burn, starships navigate
The northern,
Mystical lights, I am stuck in the universe
Of us catching fireflies.
Around and around in the world we plan to go, aspiring to leave a mark or let something lasting be known.
However, 360, having returned,
I am full of shame
Of the things I said,
The actions I allowed
To occur and poison my body (physique, psych, in between)
And letting the soul
Dissociate to a place
Where we are all smiling, holding hands-
It could have been something other than this.
Is it safe to ask
If I’m going to be okay?
In the end,
I’m sorry I couldn’t love you
The way someone should have.
I want to be part of something big,
I want to forgive.
Saturday.
Just want to be with babe.
There are no fireflies here, no northern shimmering skies. Forgotten presence,
I ask myself,
Am I really that hard to love?
In the end,
I’m sorry I couldn’t love you
The way someone should have.
