Love Poem: Felt But Forgotten

Felt But Forgotten

Willing to pay the most tragic of prices
I just want to feel something soon
Using her beauty for only the worst of vices
Knows what she’s doing too

Can’t stop the hate that follows temptation
You’re all I want but can never see
Walking around with the worst reputation
Never-ending buzzing, but I have yet to see a bee

No amount of drinks will ever swivel the image
The thoughts I know finding you again
I’m done with this agony, so start the scrimmage
Please help me find the end of my adrenaline

Pulling me endlessly, stretching me thin
I’m trying so hard to show you what you fail to see
Your refusal, I swear, is the only true sin
It can’t be wrong but we’ll never know, will we

Dreading the smell of dead romances 
You only sense the prayer
Ashes, ashes burning all of our chances
It’ll be your own fault when we’re both gasping for air

Are you only using me once again?
I have been dealt no hand, I should fold
But I’m dreading that day this comes to an end
So I’ll pretend to hold the world while your eyes only get cold

Maybe... one day we could be the fine line
One between lust and hate
No love in sight, but I’d get to call you mine
And maybe one day I’ll accept that fate

For the wind will forever whisper our fear
Even when no amount of screaming will bring up what I long to say
And if, or when the world forgets we were ever here
I will still love you anyway

Six feet in the ground and all I will see
Is the sparkle in your eyes that I wish was towards me
But of course, you won’t notice at all
I should have known you would never actually fall
