Kryptonite

Kryptonite
SVH
Oh, my god, yes I've finally found the one!
I squeeze my arms around him, crying in joy and relief
It's been almost five years since we last spoke.
He laughs and hugs me tightly, a look of contentment on his features, 
And I smile, glad to have finally met him
He is only a year older than I last remember yet five years is quite some time to have waited that long to talk to me. But I honestly don't care. 
He’s here, wrapping his arms around me, embracing me like I'm the most important person in the world. I feel touched by an angel.
After five excruciatingly long and painful years, he forgave me for my sins towards him
Of course I hug back, scared to let go lest I lose him again. 
He whispers softly,”No, its okay. I'm never leaving you. Ever.”
I nod and continue to hold tight to him,
Reassuring me of his true and actual form
It's not my imagination this time
I am overwhelmed with a million emotions, most of them too happy to explain
But then something feels wrong
I see him shimmer in the moonlight, his already soft voice fading from my mind
And he focuses on something beyond my own form
I turn around to see what he might be staring at,
But when i turn back around to face him, nothing is left
I only remember waking up, screaming out his name
Lost, lonely and afraid I realize it was all a dream and he will never come back.
Heartbroken, I cry
Goodbye

All That Was Lost

I'm tired of trying, tired of crying
Deep down inside you knew I've been dying
Im honest with you, I'm not even lying
But my dedication to you was the only thing you're fighting
I loved your face, I loved your laugh
I adored your eyes, how you would look back
Smile, hug, and tell me it's all okay
But suddenly you left me at the end of the day
A final goodbye I hadn't the chance to say
Cause all you were doing was pushing me away
I became your enemy, on you features a snarl
Every single time we talked; a quiet quarrel
I never expected you wanting it this way
Not wanting me to stick around, or to stay
I regret trusting you, I abhor your attitude
Your anger and deception was really quite rude
At the same time, I wanted you to say
Oh, my dear lover, my love towards you isn't a game
I pushed back, I struggled, I raged and I fought
The feelings and emotions and inside that you taught
The tears of misery, the shame on your face
Was all just an act, calling me a waste
I'm sorry I lied, I'm sorry to say goodbye
But all in all, you don't care, so why should I?
