captain wayward,
I never wanted to love you
But then I saw your eyes
They kept me in a trance
My heart did not stand a chance
You and I were almost inseparable
It was like dividing the stars from night
But you and I were made of glass
I knew we’d never last
I know you’ve stopped caring long ago
But I still lose my mind wishing it wasn’t so
It’s ironic how big this planet of blue
Yet my thoughts are still about you
Even now I struggle to convince myself
To repaint my canvas and start again
Since the only colors I need, I realize
Are ones that can be found in your eyes
Maybe one day I’ll move on
I have no idea how
But I have to start by accepting the fact
That you’re someone else’s poetry now
Literary (Submission): Poetry
I never wanted to love you
But then I saw your eyes
They kept me in a trance
My heart did not stand a chance
You and I were almost inseparable
It was like dividing the stars from night
But you and I were made of glass
I knew we’d never last
I know you’ve stopped caring long ago
But I still lose my mind wishing it wasn’t so
It’s ironic how big this planet of blue
Yet my thoughts are still about you
Even now I struggle to convince myself
To repaint my canvas and start again
Since the only colors I need, I realize
Are ones that can be found in your eyes
Maybe one day I’ll move on
I have no idea how
But I have to start by accepting the fact
That you’re someone else’s poetry now
You never knew how much I love you
Because I hear your voice
Unaware of how much it can soothe
If only you knew the truth
You and I blended in seamlessly
Like the sun and the moon in perfect harmony
But they could never be together, there is just no chance
And so I decided to keep my distance
I wish it didn't have to be this way
I thought I'd hurt you more if I'd stay
So I did what was the "right thing"
Unaware of the pain it will bring
Now I look back and regret what I have done
Trying to erase what was set in stone
I should have tried to make things right
And not just disappear, out of sight
It hurts to think that I might have to move on
But I'm still holding on, can't you see?
There is just no escaping the fact
You are still the only poetry to me
