Victor Champ Poem
With her by my side, I picture us as an 11,
She is a 10, I - her plus 1, a match made in heaven.
I thought of our relationship as unparalleled,
because when I was with her, it was true love I felt.
She was benign too,
The type of gal who’d always be there for you.
She was my first, like with a repunit prime,
My heart nearly burst with joy when she said yes, that she’d be mine.
It was 3 months later when she told me she would appreciate it if we went back to being friends.
‘How do you do that,’ I wondered, ‘when you thought you had something like a number line, something that never ends?’
But I had to act rationally, her feelings were being expressed,
When 11 is divided, there is no even cut, so though feeling depressed
I buried my feelings because if I felt something lost, she must have had a gain
So for her sake, I would hide my pain
Still, I wondered why
What could have prompted her to bid what we had ‘goodbye’?
Perhaps she found me, or found us a bit odd?
Was it because of religion, because of God?
Maybe she needed space,
I could give her her own personal circle, and patiently I could wait
Whether 101 days or months, whatever the case.
But all it took was a single text from 7 all too familiar numbers for the bullet to reach my brain
“She doesn’t want me no more” though hard to accept, the message was very plain
Bitterly I thought, should’ve known this was too good to be true,
After all, i was with a 10, that itself is a clue
That the future I had formerly planned with zeal
Would never, ever, be real
Even now - like the morning sun or forensics shows - there are things that still remind me of her,
But number 5, acceptance, I can upon myself concur
When we were together, we made a lovely pair
But there is a time and place to move on,
For both of us, it’s only fair.

Victor Champ Poem
*Spoken* Man, let me tell you about this girl…
She has a smile that shines on her face
She has a smirk that can make my heart race
She has a voice both powerful and soothing
But it’s not for me no more
Sometimes life goes by a little fast
And when I think back, I feel like we had a blast
Joking around a lot, I know that’s true
But I also felt like, we had our serious moments too
You were there for me, you with your listening ear
Was it only one-sided though? - And that’s my biggest fear
Being naive, and not thinking of your point of view
I’m sorry, I messed up, what did I put you through?
It might seem, I’m a bit caught up in the past
I just want to know, is that what I did wrong, why it didn’t last?
I miss that smile that would shine on her face
I miss that smirk that would make my heart race
I miss that voice both powerful and soothing
But it’s not for me no more
And I’m trying to keep my distance,
But I just don’t understand
You said that you wanted to stay “just friends”
I just want a chance to make amends
Now you nod instead of looking in my eyes
Whenever I come close, you suddenly bid everyone goodbye
It’s been a while since I’ve seen you laugh or seen you cry
I know I can’t be your hero, but I don’t want to be the bad guy
Please, won’t you tell me why? I will wait for your reply.
She still has a smile that shines on her face
She still has a smirk that can make my heart race
She still has a voice both powerful and soothing
I miss that smile that would shine on her face
I miss that smirk that would make my heart race
I miss that voice both powerful and soothing
But it’s not for me no more
She has a smile that shines on her face
She has a smirk that can make my heart race
She has a voice both powerful and soothing
But it’s not for me no more
But it’s not for me
No it’s not for me no more
