Yay for poems!

Especially depressing ones. Those are my speciality LOL. Don’t worry, I intend to write more happy ones…not that I haven’t before :P and btw, the periods are for spacing.

I remember the way it felt

When I first ran out to you

The way you looked at me,

Like I was the last person you wanted to see.

………………………

………………………

A premonition,

A passing fear that rippled under my skin.

I got in the car and talked fast and loud,

All the while wondering…how?

………………………

………………………

You were quieter that day,

The wind blowing in through the windows

Supplied our conversation.

Fear, unhappiness–a new sensation

………………………

………………………

The words were out of me

In a tight, uncomfortable moment–

You having seconds thoughts again?

I prayed that you’d just grin.

………………………

………………………

But there was no smile on your face,

As you carefully nodded your head.

Flights of words landed in my mind,

Had I done something this time?

………………………

………………………

We got to your house, and I followed you,

As you skirted around the edges

Silent as ever, I took a deep breath

Knowing the worst but hoping the best.

………………………

………………………

And then we sat on the swings

You talked in a low voice that I couldn’t–

Wouldn’t–understand.

I just wanted to hold your hand…

………………………

………………………

The longest, most painful talk of my life,

As the cheery blue sky and bright sun

Seemed to mock us mercilessly.

And then you were silent, thankfully.

………………………

………………………

I barely heard a word you said,

Only the parts I needed to hear.

I looked up at the sky–I didn’t care

But on the inside I felt vulnerable, bare.

………………………

………………………

Anything I can do to fix this? I asked.

But there was no answer, and

I moved to another swing.

In more mockery of me, a bird began to sing.

………………………

………………………

Why did it seem, that the worst of all things

Happened on the most perfect days?

I let the sun warm my cheeks,

Looked in silence for the words I seeked.

………………………

………………………

Not finding the right words,

Nor the anger or hate I desired,

You got up and proposed a game.

I rose but felt my energy drain.

………………………

………………………

I should have just asked

For you to let me go

So I could finally let the tears fall.

But I was strong for the long haul.

………………………

………………………

We laughed as if nothing was said,

But no kisses, no hugs,

Not tender, loving caresses,

No heartsick, chaotic, messes.

………………………

………………………

Not on your part, at least.

My heart was dead.

That was it, I knew

The end of things untrue.
