Temporary
I wasn’t lying when I said you reminded me of summer
But I forgot that seasons are temporary
You were temporary
How silly of me to expect you to stay
I cannot expect you to stay any more than I can expect the sun not to set
So as the weather changes
And I become cold in your absence
I am reminded of how much I depended on you
As I sit and feel the temperature begin to drop
I can close my eyes and remember
Remember your warmth
Your smell
The feelings you used to flood me with
And how pretty you were to admire
But that feeling is replaced
Replaced with something cold, bitter
Something the runs deeper than the warmth you brought
Poisoning the waters that used to feed my addiction
Now when I think of you
I don’t feel fuzzy
I don’t even smile anymore
The thought of you
The one that used to flash a smile across my face
Is replaced by tears
All that fall
But not nearly as hard as I mistakenly fell for you
I don’t want to hate you
But I can’t help but want you to feel what I felt when you broke me
When my brain forgot what happiness was
When my heart was torn into a million pieces
When you shattered my soul
I want to love you deeper than the earth’s core
But that is not possible
Not anymore
You shot me
Your actions pierced me
Tearing holes in every inch of me
Leaving me vulnerable
You shot me and now my feelings bleed
They bleed on our memories
They are filtered with red
Instead of a happy yellow
Left with only anger
You’ve ruined a good thing
What used to make me happy
Now only brings pain
You only bring pain,

It has always been hard for me to distinguish or put my feelings into words, but for some reason, I could write articles upon articles. Which is odd because this subject, above all others, seems to confuse me the most.
