YOUNG LOVE AND HEART BREAKKatlyn HARMON, 2020
Young and innocent Sweet and oh so happy A year full of joy and memories In their eyes everything seems so possible Hopeful for a lifetime of the same love Optimistic for the future Every moment with them better than the previous Butterflies for every first, such love and such innocence Simple affections, like holding hands, is all that’s needed Nothing could possibly go wrong
Over. It is all over In a split second all the feelings I had vanished After all the screams and fights. It’s over After all of the ignored texts and long, angry paragraphs, it’s over What was once my world, is now Pluto, billions of miles away What was once my future is now my history My pillow, tear soaked and stained by my mascara The love that was once so great is gone, and all that’s left is a broken heart
