unromantic

"and the worst of having a romance of any kind is that it leaves one so unromantic"

and that's what you have done to me

i fell in love with you

and you didn't catch me

instead

you left me

broken and empty on the ground

and now

the only romance i find

is the temporary kind

the kind that lasts for a night

the kind where

i have to pick myself up

tape myself back together

and fill the emptiness in my chest

where my heart once belonged

with nothing more than

liquor and bad choices

but anything feels better

than the cold

hard

ground

that you left me on
