“Living Proof” . You said you saw my face in the water. & for one split second, I remember. You were my lover, for such a short time. No matter the length, you were still mine. We crossed paths with no intention to break. We caught fire with every touch, every gaze. You said that time was a factor, oh too soon. A kiss upon the cheek was the last thing I gave you. You said you heard my voice, in the cold, cold wind. A shutter down your spine, as you remember it. Our love was untouchable, but we were too young. We didn’t know what we had, until it was gone. You had a future, but you threw it all away. Not on me, but on other things. You have nothing to show & don’t really care. But here’s to us & what we shared. You said you felt my touch in your warm, warm bed. Maybe it’s your wants & I’m stuck in your head. But you threw it all away; don’t show me guilt. You signed up for this while I began to wilt. You left me with my thoughts, what a mistake. I haven’t forgotten you, but I’m on my way. We can act like it didn’t happen, but oh, it did. We’ve scarred each other for life, as kids. & I’m a woman now, still a child at heart. You’ve grown yourself & haven’t changed much. Memories are carried in my brown plastic bag. While I collect time in my hourglass, You collect kisses like it’s nobody’s business. I hope you’re happy with the path you walk. You search for love that will always be lost. So I raise my glass, to you & your choices. This will hurt, but I know it’s always worth it. I hope you find what you’ve been looking for. Only time will tell if your decisions are poor. You were always a smart child; I think you’ll be alright. You were worth my while, but you didn’t have the insides. Let’s hope they see more in you. Let’s hope you expose the truth. Because I really did love you. & this is living proof. . #art #words #poem #poems #livingproof #poetry #poetryporn #artwork #photography #spiderweb #spiderwebs #poetsofinstagram #poemporn #poemsofinstagram #poetrylovers #poetsofig #wordvomit #relationships #photographyart #natureart #spooky #spookyart #lettinggo #lifelessons #love #kissandtell #wordswordswords #poetryofig #poemlove #poemsoninstagram (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd4W4yuOQRj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
