Love Letter to the Apocalypse

A Collection of Poems

By: Mary Cowdin

The Flaming Heart

He has the most beautiful eyes I’ve ever seen

Almost like the stars

My heaven is in those eyes

My hell is them on me

This hell is my heaven

It sets me on fire

The fire can’t be put out

It never stops

The fire spreads from my heart to my stomach

It spreads to my brain

Soon, I am set aflame

O My heart is burning

There’s a fire inside of me

I’ve been set on fire

Alone

I reach out to grab your hand

I’m close to holding onto them

But my hand slips

I can’t keep my grip

They slip away

All of the happy couples

They don’t see me

I don’t exist

And I’m alone

I try to reach out but

My hand can’t find anyone

Maybe it's better that I don’t

Maybe it's better that I’m alone

Forever

Why Can’t You Be Mine?

I look at you through the glass wall

You seem so happy

You seem like home to me

But you aren’t mine

Ask myself what things would be like with you

Even though it might not ever happen

My heart says

What

If

And I can’t stop thinking about what if for days

I know that you aren’t perfect

You’ve never been

And I’m willing to take that

With every good thing about you

But you aren’t mine

And I’m not yours

Why can’t you be mine?

Him

He’s so beautiful

I feel the passion in my bones

I want to share a sweet and tender kiss

Your eyes, your face, your smile

All are gorgeous

My dream come true

I confess
