Story Poem by Joanna Pavlides

Drunk
The pain subsides
Maybe
Maybe it's just me

Needing an excuse
For you
To stop loving me

Leave
Leave me painful
Don't want to talk
Want to walk
Away

From you

So you don't know
What I feel

The reality
Of love
The weight of it all

Will just be an obstacle
An extra lock on
Your solid door

Follow your dreams my darling
Don't mind my tears
The airy fairy stuff

Leave it to me

Or accept

The purpose of it
Is leave it all behind
Let feelings win
For us to give in

Let the story end or begin
