NaPoWriMo #9 –  National Poetry Writing Month

I’m using the NaPoWriMo prompt this time, which calls for writing a poem backwards. I used a well-known catch phrase (I switched it up a little) as the last line and wrote my way to the top. It’s short and bittersweet!

Forlorn

our love made me feel like i was high

now i stay awake and watch the sky

i wonder when what we had began to die

i believed your truths

but they were lies

it seems i have some faerie dust in my eye

big girls don’t weep, but they sure do cry
