Jessica Vh Poet Free verse

Misled

I can only hold so much
In my hand
I could only hold
Onto yours;

We could barely stand.

Nighttime 
Downtown
I pulled you into 
Bright buildings--
Slipping
You were laughing at 
The smile I spilled out.

People’s empty words,
Your neck on my mouth.

I can only hold so much
In my head.

How many 
Days until 
You will see me again?

Until you 
Crawl back into the
Dream I misled?

The wound I scooped out?
The flowers I brought down?

Today is hell
I catch you from across the room
All I want is you in my bed;
All I want is for the flowers to bloom.

If ever I’ve felt anything,
It was hurt
And I can only hold so much.

So many
Words you no longer want;
The mouth you 
Gave me like a wound.

I wanted to hold on;
Wanted it to be you.
