I swore I would never love again.
As I looked up to the heavens
Begging for their screams to stop.
I swore to never let anyone else in
because people
only take things away from you
And sometimes they take it all.
But,
I never thought I would meet you.
I swore I would never love again
as I watched her in the hospital
slowly losing her mind.
I swore it was too painful to watch
the ones you love die slowly before your eyes.
But,
I never thought I would meet you.
I swore I would never love again,
But how could I have
expected whiskey colored eyes,
and a sarcastic smirk.
I swore and I know I shouldn’t break it,
Because if I lose you,
I will lose everything all over again.
But,
I never thought I would meet you.
I swore I would never love again
Yet here I am staring at
multicolored eyes wondering
where I went wrong.
If only I had known
I would have never sworn
never would have made such a promise.
But I did and I can’t break it now.
I wish I had known I would meet you.
I swore I would never love again
and I’ve kept it up until now but
I feel my heart expand when you walk into a room.
and I guess this is my punishment.
I watch you, one last time.
to many thoughts running through my head.
but only few words slipping out of my mouth with a final breath
“I never thought I would meet you.”
I swore I would never love again and I should have kept my promise.
This is my punishment
watching you
gasping for breath
slowly slipping away from me.
This is the last time I see your shining eyes,
and I can only turn away.
I knew this would be the ending
and I should have listened.
I swore I would never love again
But I never thought I would meet you.
