Red

I can't recall the day We met, It's all a blur,
A chance encounter, fate's aLLure,
Years swept away, not a single word exchanged,
I watched YOU vanish, we remained as eStranged.

Through Those coffee orbs, I see stars on a peaceful nIght, 
But they held a secret, a worLd in disguise,
That red t-shirt, a memory so bittersweet, 
A subtLe smirk, a haunting image I can't delete.

You claim I'm the best thing that you've ever found, 
But do you really knoW me, or is it just A rebouNd?
 A game you play wiTh your friends, a passing fling, Am I just an easy catch, a momentaRy dream?

Or are you seeking comfort in your troubled soul,
 Am I the soothing balm that makes you feel whole? Will you stay once your heart's wounds MEnd, 
Or vanish into the dreamland's bend?

I'll guard my heart and like I guarded your secrets,
You'll break my heart like you broke your promises,
And I'll sit in my same old room at my parents house,
Cursing myself for why did I fell for your lies.
And in darkness where I once caressed your soul,
I'll cry myself to sleep and hope you'll hold,
On to my memories.

I love it when poetry has a reality. These feelings are real. I'll read one more before deciding if your a Fav Poet or nor. I bet you are. You give meaning not word salads. and I'm not bored to the point of sleep.

This is an amazing write; you have an amazing talent. Artful with deep imagery. I pray your broken heart is mended soon; I know it hurts desperately. You are an amazing poet, and I as a reader, I felt your pain, remembering my own from younger days. Hugs to you Curie <3
