Your

Your memory was something I held on too.

I fell so hard and fast when I met you.

Your smile was wine

Your eyes were toxic

I thought your dreams were the same as mine

I can't love you

But I always will

I wish you could have been mine

The more I gave

The less you gave back

You had healed me

But you also bruised me

I can't love you

But I always will

Author's Note

inspired by J and the song "Poison and Wine by The Civil Wars"

Amazing poem, emotion is relatable. You should message me sometime. Your J reminds me along of mine.

Hmm...I will have to listen to that song. You have written a simple but deep poem here. The pain of loving but knowing you can't love someone is a sharp one. While the heart may want what it wants... the head says to us "major screw up ahead!". Good job Aly!"

thank you :)

[Dr. Wood ?]

I think that this is one of your best...Deep yet simple..not an easy thing to achieve

[Aly]

thank you :)

A fine poem!

[Lucy Morningstar &heart..]

I'm not usually a fan of repetition in poetry but I really liked the use of it here, and I think it added to the fact that you love him, but cant at the same time. Really nice kind of...oh, how do you say it...duality here, being in love and then not as well.

great job!

thank you :)

you really have a diverse range of musical tastes and it is reflected in your poetry. this was good, almost toxic in itself. it is a double edged sword, the love, n'est pas? very good!

[Aly]

Thank you :)
