quick poem

[mistykal34]

i swear to god, the only reason i even keep blogs anymore is to have a public forum for my poetry. anyway, something i have been working on today:

i'm sure you'll remember that first real conversation
as the people flitted in and out
in a lunchroom cafeteria as the afternoon faded out

and i'm sure you'll remember evenings full
of jested words and philosophical play
dry spells between meetings, months between the days.

you'll remember eye contact and gestures
hugs and shrugs
that first confession that fit me like a glove.

you'll remember how others hurt you
how you made sure to keep me there
you'll remember that no-one's trustworthy
so you'll cling to the ones who care.

I remember our first meeting
what you wore and what we spoke
the fall of your hair and the weight of your clothes.

i remember never forgetting
you behind the desk and in control
i saw through your eyes to the reflection of my soul.

in my mind i see parking lots
i see connection through the world of the mind
i remember the electricty you will always trigger in my spine

you'll remember other choices
and hurt i'll never know
you probably think it was a good idea
to leave me on my own.

i'll remember when my heart broke,
and a second time after that,
and i'll also remember the third time
i said i'll take another crack.

maybe i don't know better,
maybe we're better off
but you wanted more and kept settling for less
and i'm not content with either parties' loss.

you know how others can hurt you
and i know how i could make you feel
but reason just can't comprehend
what makes those others feel so real
