Emma Blanco Poem
I think one of our biggest mistakes was not realizing our conversations were pointless
I never got the feeling of warmth and complete comfort with you
I tried to give you sugarcoated responses dipped in kindness
Yet you turned my bright yellow sun into the dark and shady moon
It's an awful feeling knowing why you stayed
And it's an awful feeling knowing why you left.
I couldn't say I love you because I couldn't trust you.
I refuse to tell someone "I love you" knowing I don't mean it.
It would be such a big lie resting on my shoulders.
Why would I tell you I love you when we never showed true emotion?
I can't say I love you and risk waiting a week for you to respond.
I can't say I love you and know deep down we aren't close enough.
I can't say i love you to someone who mocked me when I was weak.
We didn't work out.
Can't say we really tried;
It wasn't meant to be.
I don't think of you because I miss you
I think of you because I still think one day you'll give me the closure i need.

Emma Blanco Poem
Take the needle
Take the thread
Keep slowly piercing my lips
Sticking the needle in and out
Until my lips are sewn shut
Take away my ability to speak
I don't want it anymore
Watch the blood drop from my lips onto the shirt you said looked good on me
I can't control the blood
If you don't like the sight of it, why did you cause it?
Is this what happens when I say yes to you?
Did you want to see how you could hurt me?
This was a two person job yet I was alone
I gave you my sparks to ignite the fire
yet the moment I saw the small and timid flame,
you did everything in your power to put it out.

Emma Blanco Poem
You told me you couldn't wait to leave
You said you were staying here for work.
Also mentioned you were going on vacation in two weeks.
I asked where you were going
you said anywhere but here.
You told me you can go anywhere for work
I wish I stayed and talked to you longer
I want to know what you do
Where you have gone
Where you want to go.
5 second elevator ride
I debated going up to you when I saw you sitting in the lobby
But i figured you'd want to be alone
so i remained in my chair.
I'll never see you again
Just wish i could know more about you,
Elevator man.
