Replying to a comment on:
Miss You, Love (Free verse) by heartlessempath
When I leave
Tomorrow
What will you do?
I almost wish for your tears
As a sort of selfish tribute
To me
Even if I donât deserve it.
But then, what do I deserve?
We always swore it would be
Love and chocolate hearts
And opium kisses: sweet and smoky
So, do I deserve one last kiss?
No. Thatâs too much for me
I couldnât live, couldnât leave and
Move on without you
If I had that last
Tender, bitter goodbye
That would be too big for me.
So, then, what do I deserve?
To be a memory in a box, with
Pictures, ticket stubs and
Pieces of paper with our names scrawled
All over them?
No. I canât bear to think,
Even now, that you would treat me so kindly
When Iâm gone.
Iâve finally figured out what I deserve
You. The way we promised each other
The sort of love that never left.
And so Iâm leaving now.
To find it.
Iâm leaving you behind,
Cold in a grave of broken promises
And Iâm hoping that someday
When weâre all healed enough to
Look back and cry without hating
Iâll find out your phone number
From an old mutual friend
And be able to call you up
Just to chat and reminisce
Without fear of
Breaking anything we couldnât
Fix again
Miss you, love
And I always will.
But Iâm leaving now.
Iâll always know where you are
Itâs just me that Iâve lost.
