The lasting love we lost
Lasted as long as we had thought
‘Til we broke our broken bread
Bled the blue from our eyes red
Into the blood cleansed clearing. Closed,
It held our feelings of remorse
Held our heavy heads and hearts
Spoke out harder than the start
Sad hellos to broken, breathless
Bottled lovers
Tormented, troubled teens
Fell to earth fast as we
Didn’t deem the drop we felt
Any drop compared to theirs
Impaired the impurities
Of loving someone such as she
In their eyes they knew that well
Though colder glares have still been felt
Through the brown cracked glass
Of smashed medicine bottles
I watched you
Follow sleep to the wheel
Your sorrow is never far behind
Achievement
We remembered this too late
And took the leap
