Matt Coffelt Poet Rhyme

Deflection

If only you knew the 
pressure of passion 
pressure of pain 
that you put me through 
You would take that hidden love 
and pull it through the sky 
If I could figure out 
the trauma we disguise 
I would take it from up above 
and place them in your eyes 
Forever staying in stone 
the look of demise


Written in 1995 after high school crush 
broke my heart

Silent One October 27, 2020 at 6:50 AM I hope you are not in the same situation, i doubt it that you are... I could see your talent from all those years ago.. Matt Coffelt October 27, 2020 at 1:16 PM You know what high school was like. Relationships and waiting for 16yrs old to be able to drive. Looking back at it all over again I remember this feeling that I got from this girl and to be able to look back on the poem was fascinating to me. I can still feel it! I’m glad that I kept all of those all these years.
