Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder

One of my poems that will be placed in my book probably.

Heartache's Pride

Love kisses the tears, aiding the end of a heartbroken memory.
Love kisses the lips, takes over the ties of a heartbroken memory.

The pain of this split-screen sadness offers to sight an end of misery,
leaving a gaping hole from the wound of an arrow that was once love’s memory.

If there was a hint of glory’s light, the life of this love might be healing,
but all that remains as of yet, is a lonely sign of a love’s lost memory.

I can’t seem to shake off this hurt, my mind racing back and forth, trying to
obtain what once was there, her hand in mine, a single, blissful memory.

If I could see my jumbled mix-up, where things went wrong, it might be possible to salvage
the past, throw out all my inconsolable thoughts, create a new memory.

But through all of this, she is still there waiting, for a sign that she is still treasured,
still a part of my only memory.

When I finally see my faults, let my pride slip away, 
I’ll be able to tell her that I’m ready and willing, that I want to be her last love’s memory
