Poem Title:
Poem
I'm standing here; still; but the world I feel is spinning For every action there is a reaction so when I lose you're winning What's my purpose? I'm hurt by this; not knowing the reason I exist Unsurpassable bliss, life's a gift so what must I do important as experience this? Birthday wish, love's first kiss, I'm leaving things I know I will miss Reasons you let go, the seasons grow forgetful and I get lost in the midst. Were we once copasetic, but she left me emotionally apathetic My energetic aesthetic now just pathetic, our bodies' motion kinetic Electric we danced in verses poetic, and then you said you wanted it less hectic I can't pretend I hadn't dreamt it, It hurts knowing the words that slipped I meant it My broken heart mended you took it unintended then went back and bent it My one and only, the way you hold me, know that this world is cold and lonely And though you left me alone reasons unknown to me know that I have flown and can see So here's a token of my affection, past moments broken reflection Your words spoken perfection, I swore for your protection And you tore that connection with deception when all I wanted was your touch We didn't need to say much keeping our secrets on the hush, so what happened to that trust You know I went driving striving to find a reason to stay alive in This world so many thrive in, I didn't think surviving your conniving was worth reviving I shifted till I thought I would crash, but I lifted up and fought off collapse Then I thought of what I would be missing and brought out a laugh Without you know that I'm drifting today and what we once had has slipped away So I'm leaving this place because it's the only way I can leave you behind And not to say that this thought today won't ever leave my mind In leaving a once loved I leave ones I still love and I'm using all of my strength to do it My friends; my life they helped me through it, I'd take a bullet for you ... shoot me and I'll prove it See when I was doing my thinking it was of them who I thought and that's why I swerved My life's not going to be ended by a median curb I've learned life by having observed A witness to tragedy, not to miss this is my strategy, which I will forever save I'm leaving this place, thank you for letting me believe in your face and making me brave For those I once loved and to those I still do, here is my thank you and my goodbye wave My love for you I could never tell you so I'll just bring it down to my grave someday
