She

She gave me words
She gave me butterflies
She must have been everything I needed

But I was a fool, slipping it away
And letting the love of my life go

And now I'm ready to face her
I have no face to show
All you'll see is a body buried in herself

Wanting, Longing, and Regretting to not allow
a Beautiful soul
-
To sought more of what means to be cared and loved and showed how complexity of love delights a hope
It must have been beautiful to be invited
a love flowing through her bones
But I was afraid and scared and a fool
For letting the love of my life go

I saw her crossing streets
As she crosses my mind
She must have been everything I needed
She must have been everything, should have tried 

She don't have wings
But she flew
Flew away from me
I let her slip away, not me Keen enough — brought despise - afraid to die and now I'm dying

What a fool
What a fool I am
I thought I knew everything
I knew something 
I'm wrong - and I perished as you perish 

Heaven, I must have been there  too
But—I flew, flew me to Hell - 
No more tickets, I let 'em pass! 
I must have been there, what a fool
of me, letting the love of my life go!
