One Last Time

Fuck it, one last time.
I want to try us last time.
It hurts that out of all our tries,
We have never worked out.
But perhaps
This time “we” will flourish.

You are the only person that I want something with.
You attract me in so many different ways,
Like the color black attracts heat,
Like a moth is attracted to light
You are my light.

I want to give you everything
Because you deserve nothing less.
I thought that I was the only person
Capable of loving you.

My love for you is as big as the universe,
As countless as the stars.
It is bigger than any infinity that there is
Known, and unknown to man.

Now you know how I feel.
But, there is still something missing.
What I feel for you is not really love.

What I feel for you is not really love
Because as much as it hurts to accept it
You don’t feel the same way.
And that makes my feeling towards you
Insignificant.

I really hope things were different,
But that is not the case.
At this point, there is only one thing left to do;
Move on.

Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back
Review Request (Direction): 
What did you think of my title?
How was my language use?
How does this theme appeal to you?
How was the beginning/ending of the poem?
Is the internal logic consistent?

Comments

But give 'em a little bit, not too much,
of what they miss
and what they can't touch.

Like.
