with all my heart

the last time we spoke

I was stumbling through sentences

my lips were tainted with tequila 

because it tastes so much like you

in a whisper, I asked if you still loved me

and you answered, “with all my heart”

but that’s the difference

to me, you are my heart

you are all the love that I have to give

but in the end it was not enough for you

you promised to love me forever

but it turns out forever isn’t very long at all
