Tough Luck.

Tara Kurkal '25

 

i’m not stuck,

it’s called lovestruck

walking down dimly lit streets

sighing heart with defeat

 

repeat.

 

wishful drinking

thinking.

sinking.

ticking.

plates flew

i should’ve knew

all that time down the drain

and what did i gain?

 

pain.

 

to be held underwater,

consider to reconsider,

& drown in liquor.

 

bitter.

 

heart shaped clouds

missing you around

gazing from afar

relieving our

 

scars.

 

i’m stuck

trying to reconstruct

the one of a kind

love that’s intertwined

 

rewind.
