Of Course I Still Love You

Having love for the unresolved

By Emy BraccoPublished 5 months ago 1 min read
Highway 17 - California

Violets and sapphires

My crystal clear eyes

Blues and indigo

I wished for you over and over.

And watch you slip through my hands like sand.

Cornfields and sunflower mazes

I told you I was a tricky one

Remember that I loved you first.

Remember when?

Remember when?

I stopped coming around town

Because all the waves remind me of every dream I ever had.

If you're not there with me

What good is it?

The garden you gave me died

And so did we, so did we.

There's not even a we anymore

How fucked up is that?

Now close your eyes and count to ten

For my next act I'll saw myself in half

To give a piece to you and a piece to my baby

When all is said and done

In forty years time, I'll live up way high...

I'll become a pattern living millions of miles away

She'll trace my body and tell stories about how tragic her mother truly was

While he places a shiny diamond on her finger

We break our teeth on them

October will come and I'll think I need to call dad

But no pumpkins will be carved this year

I'll spend the years end all alone.

'Cause you and him

are sadly no longer with us anymore....
