262. To Only Wonder

Published on 18 March 2018 at 05:15

I found a heart inside my brain,

and now I’ve slowly gone insane.

My words have left a bridge of tears,

leading me to my worst fears.

 

I found some love inside a letter,

telling me that this would get better.

I decided to believe it at first—

but then again, I thought the worst.

 

I caught these memories inside a jar,

as I wondered how it all fell apart.

From flying you to the moon,

to thinking it all happened too soon.

 

You planted a seed inside my heart,

but all we ever did was grow apart.

I sometimes wish that we could go back,

and find a way to get back on track.

 

I thought we were in this together,

that things would have lasted forever.

And I was ready to give you my all—

but I somehow failed to survive the fall.

 

I wanted us to dance carelessly

upon the puddles of a larger sea.

I wanted us to be there for each other…

but now, I can only wonder.
