this poem is not about anybody in the soup

Bent love never dies it just keeps bending. Until it morphs into a burning boomerang. That smacks you in the chambers of your half-mast heart. I breathe inside a three-bedroom chasm. Somewhere between happy and what ifs. Saying hello to a twenty-six-year-old echo. Of close calls and head on crash regrets. You deserve a good life.... I don't. You've taught me, after decades of decline, what unconditional really is. It's that satin island that I've been sailing toward upon this broken ship. Even though I screwed you into the rotting wood of my id. I'm truly happy that you landed softly in a heart. That gave you that elusive elixir called. "What I couldn't give."

This is beautiful, with a longing and melancholy of perhaps some regret. It plays as the lyric to a song, and I could almost hear it set to music. A lovely poem, Anthony. :)

Sounds honest enough to me. Loneliness is a bummer and after some time you no longer blame another person. Really nice write, Anthony. Peace my friend:)
