Childish Love

[Justsomedude]

What I wanted to say

remains confined inside

a bitter heart broken

by what could've been -

held captive by a mere

mention of the weather.

There was no good ending.

No "happily ever after".

No redemption in our story.

We were just a childish love

driven by infatuation.

What we called "love" was

carried away by the

butterflies in our bellies.

What we called our "future"

has faded with all the

pleasant memories of us-

And now it's like it never

happened.. it was all

fabricated and fantasized

like the words I wanted to say.

You are a true wordsmith.

That is a beautiful poem, I read it to my close friend (didn't tell him the title) and his response was to say he felt like the child inside him had heartbreak. He had ironic laughter when I spoke the title. I thought this would please you wonderful writing

Definitely happy you told me that, haha. That is ironic! And thank you so much for reading it and sharing that with me.

I think that’s a really nice poem... I sometimes feel though I would rather stay in my fantasy of a life thinking that love truly has a meaning and reason. I feel like love that surrounds us big or small is the best unconditional easiest thing people can give to others to assure they are not forgotten.
