it is my fault that
i say "I love you " too quickly
it scares people away
and find excuses
to leave so soon.
but you don't have
to pretend that
your soul never
once knew me,
and promises
of forever
were never said
and shared
between us
under
moonlit skies of
random nights
to remember.
i loved you once,
don't pretend you
don't remember
how we got drunk
of a fairy tale
written in the sand,
how our souls
became one
in memory,
leaving my heart
with a gaping wound
dripping with
crimson passion
in the hues of
your name.
