Empty Apologies
Wound opened
the sound of your voice
American- clear, crisp
always awed by my English accent
("say the word 'not' again.. i
love it when you drop your 't's")
i i i
hate what we were
but I hate that I left you
I was a ghost, slipping silently
from your grip.
3am phone calls and
stupid laughs about
stupid things.
(sometimes i'd wake
to find you still on the phone
still connected, when asked
you'd say you were
watching me sleep)
Same side of
the political spectrum
opposite sides of the world
Different walks of life
drawn together by
mutual interests
I'm sorry I
watch your youtube videos religiously
even though I have no religion
I'm sorry I
miss the sound of your voice
miss the sound of your laugh
But
I couldn't do it
anymore
I couldn't be
thrown in the fire when
you were having a bad day
I couldn't have
the past chucked at me
or
be accused of cheating because
I spoke to another guy.
I couldn't do the
one thing I thought i'd
never give up on.
I am sorry.
I am sorry for
not belonging to you anymore.

Aw so touching and really sad that it didn't work out when you can see it meant a lot to you. It's well written and explored, I feel you have a quite evocative way with words, perhaps it comes naturally. Xx

Thank you ever so much for such a beautiful comment. I'm not sure if it comes naturally, or its just the subject matter that allows things to flow better than they otherwise would. I appreciate your time and effort in reading and leaving such a lovely comment.

To let go of someone so dear to your heart, because it's not healthy for you anymore is such a difficult thing to do...

Thank you so much for your continued support of my work. It is indeed difficult when you know they're the right person for you in so many ways, yet some aspects of the person are dangerous to be around.
