At least it rhymes.
Haha, I'm actually glad you picked up on it. It's actually NOT supposed to have a clear message, so I guess I succeeded in that area. My favorite kind of poetry is the kind that can mean more than one thing, making the possibilities of readers being able to relate quite higher. That's what this poem is.
Anyway, the back story is more-so about a guy in a relationship with a girl, but things weren't working out. Things happened and the relationship went downhill, but through it all the guy still professed his endless love for the girl.
That's just how I pictured it as the author. The reader has the freedom to interpret it anyway they want, which I think is what makes a good poem IMO.
One day, your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
