So close, yet so far.

Sweet Irony

By AmberPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

Almost.

Banishing the thoughts from my head.

Close.

Dangerously close.

Enough? Never enough to forget.

False hope.

Guarded and withdrawn.

Heavenly skin…

Insatiable to touch on.

Jaded and weak.

Killing me slowly.

Love meek.

Martyr your pride, see?

Nothing is thriving.

Only my passion.

Paying the price…

Qualifications.

Reasoning with you again and again.

Sparing the heartache…

Torn apart.

Unable to face my daunting past.

Vain and unforgiving.

Whispers magnified…

Xanthic warnings

Yelling internally.

Zestful woe.
