SOLEMN FUTURE

 

we once made promises with hope 

the hope of a future we pictured 

chorusing “tomorrow will be… tomorrow will be”

believing firmly in our prowess 

it was promising you know 

the constant chats and conversations 

moulding and building castles in the air 

with dreams and visions so beautiful 

but… you fell off 

not just fell off, you stabbed me 

ignoring I’m human with pulse and blood to bleed 

stabbed me with a knife behind and twisted it in

flushed our dreams down the drains 

walked away with no remorse 

looked back and still gave sarcastic remarks 

this i’d forever remember you know 

I still remember what we were though lol

like a flower waiting to bloom 

like a beautifully designed dark room waiting to be lit 

but your exit, lightened me up and gave me purpose

as you didn’t make it to the future we once envisaged 

and you didn’t make it to the end of my story 

I will never forget how you made me smile 

I will always have the corner folded down on your page, because it was one of my favorites
