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
