You Were Everything For Me

You were everything for me 
And in our short stop in heaven I found my own light 
Shining brighter 
‘Sensational’ you made me feel
2021
Modern love
But alas-
Restricted;

Restriction, funny thing,
For it is only in the mind.

Overthinking

Overthink

For-see that I now see 
That we are only
as truly free
As we allow ourselves to be.

BUT I AM LUCKY

For I now see, SO clearly

Our fire burned and flickered
As fast as It died out.

You killed it. 

Restricted 

Reduced 

US
to 
THIS

Your facade of burning passion 
Turned burning rage 
And

Like some sort of PYROMANIAC 
You TOOK MYY BURNING HEART 
AND SET IT ABLAZE 
AND NOW IM BLEEDINGG
.
.

Sensational you made me feel.
Unlimited 
unconditional  
You gave.

You were everything for me
Until you reduced yourself 
To nothing
