Poetry

Words can bring out a lot of different emotions. Sometimes it best to take it out on paper than in person.

Closure

I thought that after telling you I would stop thinking about you so much

I knew that wouldn’t happen the moment we touched

Because now, I seem to think of you more

Remembering the emotions I felt at your door

Feeling the happiness I had when we hugged

Smiling so much you probably thought I’d been drugged

I really couldn't stop smiling

And I was glad you hear you had been blushing

I keep telling myself I just need to ask

Because I really long for an answer

The wait itches at my heart like cancer

Because maybe that's when the closure ends

I wish I could just settle for being friends

My one goal in life is to keep you smiling

So please don’t stop my fingers from dialing

In your texts you said I was brave

Yet I can feel my brain starting to cave

Crashing down like a wave

Seems like I’m the only one I couldn’t save

In the end I made you smile

And I hope this poem can make your happiness last for awhile

With that in mind I can finally be at peace

And my mindless worrying can finally cease

A Field of Sadness

You are a lone flower in a field of sadness

You stand out to the world and to me with your kindness

But you let the season change you

You follow them blindly, but what else is new

Do you expect them to love you?

As if exhaling fumes and steaming up rooms will get you through

All I can do is watch

As the lightning strikes your perfect smile while you down scotch

And the dark snow covers your body

I try to leave but your petals follow

Each bringing me back to watch tomorrow

Just as it seems I am gone

You’re petals change colors

Which makes me feel like it was something I’d done

So I curse my words at the seasons

Asking them why you do this and looking for reasons

I water you now and then but you won't drink from me

But each time it rains you’re affection to it is a guarantee

One day a flower will depend upon me

And a flower in a field of sadness I’ll no longer have to see
