Writing

Irreplaceable

Is us

You and I

Together

Joking and laughing from things like the weather

To ghost cows and weird books and crazy ideas

To fanfictions and emails and drafts we'll never send.

I don't believe in love at first sight.

I don't believe in miracles

That happen overnight.

I don't believe in princes

With perfect hair and smiles

And I don't believe in fairy godmothers

You wish I'd give in

You wish I'd give up.

You'd wish I'd stop fighting

For me and for us.

You wish I'd stop arguing

Stop pointing fingers

You wish I'd quit blaming

But my fire, it lingers.

We were great, sure

Until suddenly we weren't.

I liked you as a person

But not much more than a friend.

You were cool and funny

I was, well, am, me.

We got a long just fine

But you wanted more from me.

Poem #1 in my Greek Gods poem series. More to come soon! :D

1. persephone

she crushed flowers beneath her feet as she walked

There are a lot of things I can't have:

You

Your love

Your care.

I shouldn't be allowed your smile

Or to ask you truth or dare.

I shouldn't be given your warmth

Or your adoration;
