aging_​out
In_Bloom The time has come upon me
Over me, throwing me the bird
Smiling, winking,laughing and gone

Am I all I ever was?
What I had, it that the most it will ever be?
Is it ridiculous to keep wanting?

I loved, immensely and true
I was loved once, truly
I was loved more than once but never chosen, my love more worn into

"I love you but I'm not in love with you"
How I cringed and then crawled away!
No amount of anger or distraction ever softened the lash of that lesson

Aging out but never again having trusted in my love, a naive and naked love made foolish a time too many

Now I am wrapped thick against what a kiss once was, or how it felt, a simple sinking into arms

My lips can still smile, tight and awkward over blunted teeth
