julie

i can't believe
i'm going through with this,
my friend who used to be my crush
will now be the one i'll be leading away
with a rein in her mouth
a tunnel around her head
to make sure she can't see me
but she will instead just see him.

she won't know what i'm doing,
but all her hopes and wishes
she's conveyed to me like a diary
will now be played back to him.

i can't believe
i'm going through with this,
but i should never have intervened,
i had hoped she would see
that he is an ugly soul,
i had hoped she would see me
and change her course
to happiness the easy way
that's the offer that I am,
but i suppose hardships worked through
will bring her true happiness.

i can't believe
i'm going through with this
i wanted her so bad
she liked me too
well she still does
i see through her eyes
she's just afraid to lose
her two years hard work
and that's what he is - hard work.

everything i've done to touch her heart
in the places he abandoned long ago
i will reveal to him so he knows
just how to light their passions again
not because i want to
but because he makes her happy
he's who she wants, not me
although no one else can understand why.

i can't believe
i'm going through with this
tomorrow will be the first call to him
"she want a surprise gift
sweet words, and a homemade card"

why am i doing this?!
because it'll make her happy.

makes me remember

This poem really makes me remember that almost everyone has a sad love story. And if we were to be able to tell what pain a person has gone through because of love just by looking at them, then there would not be enough compassion to soothe each soul, nor would there be enough to soothe one. When you want them to be happy, it shows how much you love them, however painful it may be.

i think you are my favorite poet on this site, well done.
