the longest poem i ever wrote you

Ask me then darling, why I left you then

Burrata, three squeeze, twinkling drives past 10

Cuddles, your bed and mind, leaves fall like your kisses

Dancing, in your arms I thought you’d be someone I’ll miss

Evergreen trees remind me of our tent built by one

Faith you gave me, poles, stakes and loved no one

Gasping for breath you kept me drowning

Hands and smiles you replaced with your growling

Instead I look for the part of me I left behind

Just you took and sliver I needed to find

Kisses stop me from remembering to wake up

Lash out, I deserve it, I said, you showed, and now I’m up

Missing you miss me is all I’ll ever feel

Never weak, falter toward your arms, I reel

Once upon a time I feel

Promise, I can tell it ends well

Quaint homes in the suburbs, 

I never told you I saw

Remains from us I blame for the pain in my jaw

Still, love leaves me weak

Regret rocks me to sleep

Terror and shame call, this was meant to keep from going deep

Understand you’re gone and I’ll fix my scars

Villain or hero, thoughts of you scatter like stars

Writing, this will be how I have to say goodbye

Ex’s to lovers and now I put you out of my reach, so high

Why you’ve done this, guilt for what I was forced into

Zach, I know means more than you’d ever hoped to.
