Late Night Thoughts

Midnight,
More feelings, new thoughts.
My mind swirls around you, 
But my feelings don't matter to 
you.
When my feelings don't matter 
to you,
They almost no longer matter 
to me. 
Nosy minded, curious to know,
Who my heart is set on. 
After you find out it's you, 
It's old news. 
No cares, just silence. 
Awkward glances. 
No talk. 
No matter. 
Hurt, I'd step away from my 
feelings. 
They don't matter to you, 
To anyone. 
Your cold quiet swallows me 
whole. 
I'm almost drowning in my,
Midnight.
More feelings, new thoughts.
I wish you'd just grab my hand,
But you're numb to me. 
Unknowing. 
Midnight. 
More feelings, new thoughts.
It's just a crush, no big deal.
SNAP. 
Walk away, for good.
Maybe. 
My feelings don't matter to 
you. 
They don't matter to anyone. 
When they don't matter to 
anyone, 
They almost,
Almost. 
Almost no longer matter to me. 
Almost, 
Midnight. 
More feelings, new thoughts. 
At least we're friends. 
Not enough.
If we're friends, 
I have feelings for you. 
You're interested in my 
feelings,
Aren't you? 
Until you find out it's you. 
Walk away.
Awkward glances, no talk. 
You're so mean. 
But I wish you were my mean, 
Midnight. 
I want to tell you, 
I haven't. 
Because I know what will 
happen. 
SNAP.
Walk away. 
But You know that too,
So why do you ask? 
It's you, 
Midnight. 
Shhh.

I like the free verse, Sydnee, , Stopping by with a nice, sweet Welcome to Poetry Soup. I will find much delight, in reading and in time become familiar with your way of writing. But, for the mean time, I will greet you with the same smile, other poets passed when I first join the soup 4 years ago. I wish you the best when it comes to your poems. I hope you get to meet all the nice poets around here. Starting with me. SKAT :-) Please drop a hello and tell me a little about yourself if you like. I would like to be your newest poetry soup "FRIEND". Hugs* SKAT
