The Missing is the Thing That Grows (Original)
You were a brick through my window,
The pin tumbler deftly undone -
but for all the damage that now shows,
I miss all the messy memories.
I crashed through glass
I unlocked you
and in this mess
made you love me.
The coffee is bought, not made anymore,
I cannot recall the color Green -
there are no dust outlines for picture frames -
although I'm fine, nothing is as it seems
I am your french roast
your seafoam Ivy
combing other shores
and ever surreal
It's every success and every mistake
each new addition that tears down the old -
I've built the scaffolding up to my mind
though I'd only meant to cover my heart.
I was your intentions
paving your way to hell -
I make up the wood beams
that now scaffold your thoughts
I love your poem structure it reminds me of Ellen Hopkins in a way. It makes the reader go back and reread it in various orders over and over again and your words are beautiful, and your gifs are absolutely perfect for the poem. Chaos is beauty.... Missing messy memories is human nature. You've just gotta make more (;
Thanks for your comment, I definitely agree with your sentiment
That was sad but beautiful. It could make you hesitate to say "Happy Valentine's Day" to someone.
I'm not a love hater haha and i'm glad you saw the beauty in it when you read.
Happy Valentines day!
Then Happy Valentine's Day to you too :D
