Love lost

A Poem by madeline

a poem about an empty love

oh where the time goes
one day you woke up alone
with a body next to you
that feels like someone you don’t know
what a lesson
for your pride
what a pause in your strides
what a fool you must’ve been
to live with what’d died
can’t give it up
left feeling like an idiot
love is so good though,
this can’t be it?
though reality is only what you fantasize
between crossing your t’s and dotting your i’s
daydreams and silent thoughts
two things of yours that leave me distraught
out of control,
of wisdom and wits
i say to myself
“i can’t, this can’t be it”
