Oblivion is inevitable, and I'm in love with you.
"I'm in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we are all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we'll ever have and I am in love with you." - John Green. Write about a doomed romance, and why it can never be. Break the reader's hearts. (Tag me please so I can read your works! Can't wait to be heartbroken.)

But Only We

I gave you my heart

Or

Perhaps you stole it.

To be honest, I don’t remember a time

Before there was us;

A time when I was me

And you were you

And I knew myself.

My memories are all of us;

Tender,

Caressing,

Eyes entwined and

Sinking into our warmth.

There was no me

There was no you

But only we.

Until.

Until they spoke

And you awoke

From our dream

Of pleasant pastures

Cosy fires

And holding hands.

And you awoke –

A broken spell

Because of their touch,

Fingers on your cheek

Hand on your chin

Their kiss on your lips,

Sucking you from me.

And you saw you

Again.

And then you saw them.

I’m left alone,

Not me again,

Just a hanging part of us,

Like a broken door

On broken hinges

Hanging and useless.

There was no me

There was no you

But only we.

Now

There is nothing
