Let me go, Anabelle

IMG_0166.jpeg

Turn around and let me see
Let me see how you look with a blue like sea
Walk towards me with that beautiful smile you like to hide
Under the large bright chandelier
In between the midst of many strangers
Dressed in dresses and tuxes
And shoes that clicked against the floor tiles like knuckles
Why did I only see you?
Why did I bump into women and stepped on the feets of men to get to you?
Why did I sound like I’d run a thousand miles when I finally met you?
Why did my lips start to quiver
Because of the uncertainty of what to say?
Maybe another day, I’d thought when I finally saw you
I must be taking things too far
That would explain why you looked stunned when I came into your view
Like you were short of what kind of words to use to shoo me away
So you could run the other way
I ever only saw you rarely
Why starve the world and I of such beauty?
Why let flowers writhe in pain at the absence of your presence?
Tell me Anabelle
Are you afraid of the world
Or you’re scared the world would be afraid of you?
One mustn’t think too much
We are unaware of how long we have to live
Let’s savour it, Anabelle
You and I
Under the blue sky
With you in that dress
And a piece of pie
Come with me
Walk with me
Twirl for me
Dance for me
Laugh with me
Like you have no worries left to think about
Like I was the only one in the universe you thought of
Like I was the one for you
And you were the one for me
Let’s savour it
Gaslight ourselves
Maybe, we’d get the happy lives we so strived for
Maybe, we weren’t broken people who kept on breaking each other
I ruined you and you destroyed me
Anabelle, tell me
Why let it linger?
The hope for something better, the thought that we would have been better if we played our cards right?
Why dream about me?
Think about me?
Let me walk into that head of yours?
Why let that feeling reside?
I am gone
Why call for me?
When you know you were the only one
I’d ever only run to
No matter how you broke my heart
Tore it to pieces and left me with a half baked organ to care for.
Let me go
Let me go Anabelle
