Prompt: Write a love story in the form of a poem.
I will admit that you had me in a chokehold
We started off a little too bold
I was blinded by nostalgic memories
thought that you could have held the keys
to what I was missing in life
I imagined myself as your wife
it sounds stupid now but I swear
even though I was the one to break us apart
I couldn't bear
the thought of moving on was dark
I was stuck in place
standing.
still.
surely there was no other thrill
than hearing your voice
seeing your smile
it all felt so worthwhile
but alas, hearts march on
and I have found a better bond
we had our mistakes, our regrets and we feel feeble
but we have to acknowledge we are still learning how to be better people
