I Would've

I would've given you all my years

Instead, you disappeared

And the years before you stole them all

Like they were just a souvenir - only way too small to capture it all because

I would've given you them all


But you broke it down, snatched it away

Scrunched up, chewed and spat out

Everything we did, what we had, in my face

That always looked up at you

Proud


But now my little neck is sore

And my dusty blue eyes sting

Like a cavity it aches

A heart loosely held together by string


What cruelty to rewrite the book

Like it was just a chapter you can overlook

It's made it's way onto the shelf now but sometimes I pick it back up

Flick through the pages that took me ages to move past

Stuck


Now it’s like that lifetime has passed

I'm reshaped by it; unfitting of the old cast

New Chapter: Years That Look Different

But the story remains between the lines

Intertwined

Without a happy, or forever after

A lost piece of time I'll still always posses

Because

I would've given you all my years


No less
