Do You Know

Do you know you deserted a person who was totally blissfully in love with you? Do you know that when you did not turn around and wave, you broke her heart? Do you know that she still dreams of what you could have had? Do you remember Susan? Do you care that her heart broke into a million pieces when you left? Do you care that when it went back together, three pieces were missing? Do you care that she wrote letters, and they were never answered? Do you care that she made you Christmas gifts every year? Do you care that she brought you flowers on your birthday? Hoping you would return like you promised? Every year hoping this? Do you realize she waited and waited, hoping, you would find her? Thinking nightly for many nights that you would fall back into love? Do you know that you inspired her to write poetry? Do you know that every painting and sketch she has is a reflection of you? Do you know that you have a son? Do you care?

Thank you Mahtab. I call it free verse. I call almost everything free verse. I am self-taught.

I think they all do, but some are running from their happy, fearful of it, or thinking they do not deserve it.
