Freeverse – Broken Narratives

Don’t get too close

You’ll just regret it when I’m gone

And I refuse to let go.
Because this is how I’ll learn to heal:
With you by my side, teaching me how.

Together we bleed, we burn, and we bloom.
Unfurling our hidden wounds together after midnight.

You can be there when the sun shines
But at nightfall, you’re all mine

Something about you feels familiar
Like a memory of a dream I once had

But I didn’t hesitate before drinking her in

It’s all about the anticipation —
The build up

The want, the need, the desire
That keeps you flipping to the next page

You’re eager for more
Dying to dig a little deeper
To watch the relationship bloom
And see the fairytale unfold

But once the princess kisses the princess,
You put the book down
And start a new story
