Jasmine Moonrise Poems

my love for you

was as deep as the ocean floor

your dad called me ocean

it was my favorite nickname

because of my connection with the sea 

I never called you by your name 

I always called you love

because love is what you were to me

my love for you

transcended time and space and the universe 

you and me 5ever, right?

that’s what we always said

you were my sanctuary, my home

we used to stay up talking all night 

sharing a bed in paris

wearing nothing but our towels

cause we both loved to air dry

losing you cut deeper than a knife

afterwards I went on a coke bender alone

thoughts got so dark and twisted in my head at 4am I almost 5150’ed myself

did you know I changed my whole life after you?

quit my job

left my house

changed my name to distance myself from our sordid past

I never speak of you to new people I meet

cause it pains me to retell the story

you’re forever etched in my memory

always running through my mind 

everything always goes back to you

I hope it was worth it

I hope you find peace

I love you
