I'm a COWARD
you heard it
FIRST here.
I can't get
my HEART back
from the one
I hold most
DEAR. She broke
it into pieces
and VANISHED in
a puff. But I keep
BEGGING her back
I guess
I don't know when
ENOUGH is ENOUGH.
Maybe the problem
is I have no PRIDE
I let this
UNRECIPROCATED
love tear me up
INSIDE. I should
move on but did
I mention I'm a
COWARD. I don't
want to be alone
not even for an
HOUR. But I'm
already ALONE you
say, and yes I know
this too
but I still wear
her RING
and her bracelet
so I can PRETEND
it isn't TRUE.
I know letting her
go and MOVING on
would be the right
thing to do. I wish
there was a potion
a MAGIC elixir
or a pill
that would MAKE me
FORGET her even if
against my WILL.
So what am I to DO
where can I even
START because when I
first met her I had
FINALLY
been COURAGEOUS
and ignored my
CHICKEN HEART.
