forget-me-not blue orbs are cast

towards the ground,

water gleaming in the bright sunlight.

i want to run to you and drown in

the elysian pools that are your eyes,

to smell every flower blooming inside

the fountain of your veins,

to drink from it until i myself become

a silver fish forever trapped under

the glassy surface.

but how could i wipe your tears away

when i knew there was another boy more worthy of your love?

it broke me how you'd choose someone else's heart when mine was already laying at your feet.
