Misguided Idea

As lovely as the idea may be,

I can't wait for you...

I must cut loose the anchors

that weigh me down.

Sitting side by side,

I know now that it was

a tragically misguided idea--

you and I falling in love.

What a miracle it is

that I keep turning the pages

of a story which will

always remain a fantasy.

Sudden bursts of euphoria

in a beautiful, secluded place.

We weren't even that different

among the ties that bound us.

I wake mapped with bruises

and recall a letter you left behind.

A 1st wow I remember mine wont speak all that here but I gather your all to well! The last was bold saying I wake mapped with bruises and recall a letter you left behind! Glad you got away from that!
