If someone refuses to love you
It’s pointless to wish it so
Best to shrug your shoulders
And finally let them go
And if they come back to you
It’s best to set them free
For a heart that refuses to love you
Can never really be

I’m failing
Falling hard
Into a funnel
Of finality
Fully aware
That fortitude
Is finally
Failing me

Pink, white, baby blue
These old perspectives
Now a different hue
Yellow, orange, fiery red
Newfound colors
Filling up my head
Dull pastels wash away
As brilliant fresh colors
Save the day
Head n heart is where they’ll remain
Full of vibrant thoughts
In a stunning terrain

I spent the day with you
Not in person but in mind
And in every single thought
It was you my heart did find

Window of warning
Opened above
Rays of sunshine
Warmth of love
Voice of reasoning
Calling her name
Beseeching her to leave
A life of shame
Reminder of things
Futures to come
Imploring her to remember
What cannot be undone
Choices, decisions
Whirred through her head
Her choosing too late
For she was already dead
