Forever

You said “forever,” did you mean that though?
How did us till the end become just me?
You never apologized, just said “gotta go”

You and me always, isn’t that so?
I’m not happier without you, not filled with glee
You said forever, did you mean that though?

Always hoped for an answer, did I get one? No
Costs nothing to just talk to me, I promise it’s free
You never apologized, you just said “gotta go”

Without you in my life, it’s hard to grow
I’m falling apart without you, can’t you see?
You said “forever,” did you mean that though?

I’m going insane, I think I might blow
Being apart from you isn’t my cup of tea
You never apologized, just said “gotta go”

It breaks my heart. I never got the memo
I’m becoming who I never wanted to be
You said “forever,” did you mean that though?
You never apologized, just said “gotta go”

Unsweetened Iced Tea

I reminisce, I miss

i was ecstatic when
you told me you liked me
our story started off
as we sipped unsweetened iced tea 

it worked for a while
and things were great!
till the truth came out 
gave you a clean slate 

a couple more 
unsweetened iced teas later
it became clear to me
this wasn’t in our favor 

maybe it was right person wrong time 
love in all its glory 
but it wasn’t meant to be 
and that’s the moral of the story 

now as i drink my 
unsweetened iced tea 
my head replays each moment we shared
as we live happily ever after
in my memory
