Romanticization
Romanticize someone/something. It can be a fictional character, the love of your life, your dog, yourself, the wall. If you need a fictional character to romanticize but can't choose, you can do multiple or you can romanticize Aoife Enchantress, a character of my creation. You'd have to look at my pinterest board or my story Enchantress though. If the winner chooses, they get a free (signed) copy of my book once it comes out.
I’ll admit I
found charm in the way
you ignored my calls
went away with
other girls
treated your friends like a
priority and
me like a last resort
I romanticized the way
You talked about my body
like it was all there ever was
to me
As if I was an empty present
a means to an end
a carousel you could
hop on
and off when it got you dizzy
I
romanticized the way
you seemed to only care
when you needed me
He can’t live without me
I thought
and thought
and thought
again and again
except you did live,
didn’t you?
without me.
You only needed me
when you couldn’t live
by yourself.
