Love We Once Had

I’ll evidently miss
you like a falling
star
 
Once you greet the
ground I’ll close my
eyes and a wish will
made
 
Considering the
mending from my
agonizing scar
 
The way she deceived
and seduced me this
mending doesn’t
demand a Band-Aid
 
I assumed our lust
traveled like cars
 
Yet I was betrayed
and you wasn’t the
woman you portrayed
 
So far I accept you
needed space like a
space bar
 
And while your
thoughts our in
space I desire you
encounter our prayer
 
Your beloved color
is purple perhaps I
should pick you a
Liatris a blazing
star
 
That idea went up
into the air I swear
 
You was the
brightest star in my
make believe sky and
you was my north
star
 
Similar to hot air
the burning flame
that rises and just
like lust you fell
out the air
