When I was little. I told my mom about a girl that I liked. My mom asked why? You don't
even know this girl. You probably just met her on the playground for a couple of times
and had fun. But, I thought differently about her. She was nice and caring and I really
liked her. We had fun during recess and lunch and always laughed about everything. She was
the moon as I the sun. But she didn't feel the same way. No, she saw me as a friend,
a brother even. And I couldn't never really tell her how I felt. I wondered why? Why can't
she feel the same way about me? Am I different? What makes the other guys so attractable compared
to me? And as time went on, we both went to high-school and nothing really changed. I
couldn't' take my eyes off her. We were still close friends but she never saw me that way.
And I couldn't take that. Yet, I couldn't take it upon myself to tell her. IT was like
my trying to jump to a cloud, but never being able to reach it. I watched as we drifted
further apart, only to talk due to school projects. And it never got any better till
about recently. We started talking again, and I felt happy. But it wasn't the same and
it wasn't enough. I was always going to be that friend and nothing more. So here's my
poem to you
I want to hold you close But I am too scared to love
Once a golden fire, full of love and zeal I feel a bit of hope; something
Somewhere up above But you threw me away and I lost myself
Weary I became; fell in a deep hole Drifted away, seeking for help; to heal
I was deflated and gone; a lost soul You'll light me for a while
Then blow me away again I dream and hope of your calm soft touch
I really don't know what to do My sky's full of only you
Eventually a rotten apple formed And I hurt everyone I knew, one by one
A smile once beautiful but now deformed Embodied enough hate to burn the sun
Was tricked by my own imagination I pursued unreachable clouds
Sentenced for life, for elimination Once a warrior, undefinable and proud
Now a lost soul yearning for redemption Locked and destroyed in my own dimension
