Hello Beautiful Poem by Lynn El Amine

Hello Beautiful
I had you in my hand
You were so close

So
Fucking
Close...

I let you go
I let you go

I guess I was wise
But in the end
I got no prize

No satisfaction
No world of fiction...

Bet you could have given me wings
Could've made my wish come true
Your perfume bites, stings
But it takes me away from gloom
From my dark hue

I look at the empty bottles
Mine all mine
Starts with vodka
Ends with wine
But it's never enough
And it keeps on getting rough

Bacardi peach
And Irish cream
I'd drink and drink
Just to get a little self esteem

But for once
Dinner wasn't enough
I needed desert
And you were there
Ready to flirt

So I flirted with you
Gazed and gazed
Seduced by your smell
Your aroma.
Lost in your daze

I feel so stupid
Letting you go
Drenched me in memoirs of sorrow

In all of my rhymes
I'd mention my desire to fly
I had my chance
Had my break
But I couldn't just do it...
I had to think
Now my chance is gone
But I'll imagine you
Singing me a song
Rocking me in your arms
Sweet lullaby
Taking me to La La Land
Where there is no harm
Where nobody's a sly

Sleepless nights
Empty stomach
But with your breath on mine
It would have been divine
I would've been strong
I would've belonged...

I need to let go
I need to forget
I wish I never said no
I wish I wasn't lost in regret
I wish
Oh how I wish...

Rejecting you
My biggest mistake
Here I am
I'm sad, I'm blue
But I bet that if I embraced you
You would've cured me from my own sickness
My own flue...
