Epiphany Tiffany

You embarked upon  a   whole new galaxy. Such a distance, Far past humanity.  Everyone you left behind   Couldn’t reach. So when I think of you, I remember everything. When thoughts drone over, I sadly smile and let them be. You feel so far away from me. As if our love suddenly blasted off to outer space. One minute it was here, The next it evaporated further away. Sadness excelled at  a very fast pace. Until I was the only one left, Feeling anything. Despite the brutal reality. The only thing I have left from you Is that sapphire ring. And me… I may have made it out alive. But you took my forever, And forked it with a knife. My heart still beating. My blood still blue. The oxygen hadn’t touched it. I still thought you were you. And you still had me. Emulating my love. Unaware that I was up, Against a substance,  for yours. Not knowing a drug,  Would end up  winning this run. Laughing through the ribbon. While I laid lifelessly stomped upon. ...

I wiped tears  pulling out of the driveway. Our love became the boarded-up house, I looked in the review mirror at When I drove away. I really didn't want to leave  But I did anyway.  Loving you became a cliche. Another casualty  From the wreck on lifes byway. A fucked up fairy tale. Beginning beautifully, Ending sadly. He waited patiently to make way. I was abruptly stranded, So of course there was room for a little leeway. He felt like a calm seaway. After your fatal storm, His breeze felt like No traffic on the 91 freeway. The first time I cried. By the second and third I didn't miss  the lover that used to be mine. Still coming on time. It’s a lot of fun. Because its force isn’t as strong. Sadly, I’m feeling pretty numb. And I can’t fathom  belonging  to anyone. I'm floating in the grey. All of my happy in love moments Cascaded away. But I'm not sad anymore. I'm actually doing pretty okay. Being on the out skirts of you, Has made the sunshine throu...

I remember  You liked me so much, You cooked me breakfast. Spoiled me with so many gifts and road trips. Sang “Got What I Got” to me At Jason Aldeans. The way you looked at me. You can’t fake that.  You really loved me. Said you reached for the stars And somehow grabbed me. Weren’t sure what to do Other than cherish me. Said I was precious. Unlike any past lover. Made a heart broken skeptic  believe in her lover. I felt every ounce of it all.  Sadly, I felt every ounce of it go. When you relapsed last fall. I still held on.  I still tried to keep you. I should’ve let go. Every sad dark moment, I witnessed a whole new you. That shit I won’t even get into. Now I’m eating  home cooked breakfasts alone. Crying at the table, Watching sad country music videos.  Reminiscing a life, That’s now long gone. You can take all that love  And rip it outta the heart. You can remove the cowboy  Who broke that broken heart.  But you can never  take t...
