Life can be very exhausting without something to open your eyes to.
For years I found joy in loving the only person I could rely on, myself.
It made life kind of bleak sometimes watching everyone else move on,
I stood still while everyone else had their first, second, and third loves
It’s hard when you’ve never had anyone to love,
let alone anyone who loved you.
I started to wonder what was so disgustingly different about me.
Maybe I wasn’t pretty enough, I wasn’t charismatic enough, I wasn’t funny enough.
There was no being on the planet that I was good enough for.
The day you approached me, I couldn’t sense any malice behind your big beautiful smile,
Oh, how I loved your smile.
Someone treated me like a human being for the first time in my life.
I looked deep into your eyes.
Oh, how I was encapsulated by your big brown eyes, with just a hint of russet.
You shined your light into my world
That ray bloomed me from a sapling into a field of Dahila’s
You became the sun that I orbited
Since you were my solar system, I was your sun, moon, and stars.
Well, at least that’s how it was in my mind.
I was shocked when you asked me to come to the place we first met.
The sky was hued with colors of Coral, Jasmine, and Amethyst.
I thought this would be the best day of my life,
The day you were finally mine.
I watched you slowly pull out a box from your purse.
It would be me and you forever,
the one person I could spend eternity with.
You reached in the box and pulled out a bracelet.
Why was there a bracelet?
You clasped it around my wrist.
Every fantasy in my mind began to unravel before my eyes.
I found myself truly and utterly destroyed, were all the memories a lie?
You held the canister that burned my field of Daliah’s to the ground
The ones that you planted, knowing you didn’t have to.
As I looked down at my wrist and saw my demise
I was now forever branded by the letters “BFF”.
