“Sometimes following your heart means losing your mind.” -Ernest Hemingway


Our love was a Beautiful Disaster 

Our love was Hopeless

Our love was furious

Our love was An Untouchable force


We blazed brightly and passionately

We were Ruthless People falling for one another

We weren't supposed to fall in love, but we did


You said you would “Hold Me Like a Breath” 

You said I was the only one

You said I was “All Your Perfects”

You said I was all you needed


But you held me more than a breath,

But more like your Cruel Obsession

But I was not designed for you 

But I was stuck in The Sweetest Oblivion that you tapped me in 


You gave me a Forbidden Crown

You made me a Paper Princess

You made me Yours


I was The Maddest Obsession of yours

I was the Good Gone Bad for you

I was Wasted Talent

I was a waste of potential, affection, and memories due to you


It was all in favor of you

It was intended to be us all along

“It Ends With Us” were my vows


You said “Maybe Someday”

You said I was A Girl In Black and White

You claimed I was too broken for you 

You called me Pretty Reckless

You said I was a Damaged Heart


I thought our love was Beautiful

I said it was because it was ours

I said it was unique

I said it was yours too

I gave you my heart

I gave you my soul as well


It was anything but

It was Inked In Lies

It was a Twisted Love

It was an Ugly Love


Our love was toxic

Our love was not meant for us

Our love was endlessly bad


But it was my first, it is my one and only 


Will our love last?


The author's comments:

This is a book spine poem. The bolded letters are book titles. I've read 19 of the 25 and wanted to incorporate the themes of the books into a poem. I enjoy poetry, and I believe this is the ideal option for my first submission to Teen Ink! I hope you enjoy it!

You are very talented, and I can feel your emotion through this beautiful and deep piece of art. I love it I will be making a second or the following part to this poem if you don't mind?
