You were only supposed to be
A notable alternative
To the best option at hand
But I can’t lie.
These arms have held me
More together
Than any fortune
Has ever tried.
Between sorrow and fame,
What if we go all the way?
You know nothing –
You know more, you see more
Than I could wish for.
Perhaps this is the way it all unravels
Perhaps you will never know
The mess I’ve made of our story
Perhaps you will only know the joy
The laughter, the tenderness
The adoration which you’ve harbored,
You will never know,
My eyes were once kelidoscope,
You will look at me, and only see
Your reflection mirrored back.
You’re not wrong.
You’ve been the only one,
To take the leap,
Granted,
Unknowing
You’ve taken me in full.
Perhaps this IS our fortune
Our story will only be happy
Perhaps then
There will be no ending.
The End.
