Only
You only wanted me
until you had me
until I said yes
until I was yours
forever
You only loved me
from very afar
at arm’s length
in your mind
from the world of what if?
You only touched me
when I wasn’t there
when I couldn’t respond
when it no longer mattered
You only needed me
until I needed you
until I reached out
until I proved imperfect
flawed
and unlovable

I love this because it’s true.
And simple.
Now if only love were that way.
hi kimmie,
i agree…if only love were that way.

Sarah, wow. Absolutely, heartbreakingly breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing the beauty you so exquisitely sift from the ashes of this crazy, ugly and beautiful world.

hello wayne,
it’s been so long. i hope you’re writing - i miss your magic.
it is ironic isn’t it, that heartbreak can create a beauty of sorts?
