Can't Make Someone Love You
It's a waste of time. It’s better to have nobody than someone who is half there, or who doesn’t want to be there. — Angelina Jolie
Broken glass formed
into snow flakes and angels
but they can't form a loving
heart
Rain can't wash away
the guilt, pain, and pictures
even if I delete them
a thousand times
I taste bitter coffee
on my lips when you
tell "I'm sorry it has
to end like this."
I regret rushing into
your arms like a child
looking for its golden
sippy cup.
Kissing you one last time
to feel the spark like
the first kiss on your couch
The way your hand caressed
my face, warm with kindness
when your lips hit mine
You can't erase the hurt
that eases in like every
fruit I slowly consume.
So let me know its not
a waste of time to hold
on too a key you'll never
use again
The pain isn't easy to
hide behind a broken
mirror unless you decide
to look inside
I can't make you love me,
I can't make you feel what
I do that you don't
as the moon sets into the
ocean breeze
I can't make you say it
or push it back into the
beautiful sun when you
ask for space
I pushed you away
but you broke me
like a record that continues
to play over and over
I still love you,
as water fills the tanks,
empty letters
and my final poem
about marriage
I lost the ring in a sea
of seaweed were mermaids
lay and treasure is seeked.
Yet, money can't buy everything.
I held your hand and you held
tighter.
I ask for second chance
too take things slower
but you need more space
like a waste of time
My clock is ticking
and anger raising,
yet my anger doesn't
exist
I'm the hot chocolate
and you're the tea.
I suppose we no longer mix
in this broken relationship.
