For What It Is: A Poem
Could I possibly wreck what I’ve vowed to protect from the desire of the comfort of my mind?
And even so, yet not although, I remember all that I’ve left behind.
Considering them, both her and him, I’ve always been on the other side.
The guards have come down, exposing the clown, leaving no places for me to hide.
My eyes turn green when I see you lean towards the one who is after your heart.
Why, when there’s me, would you give a key to a door that will rip us apart?
All my pride is now lost, but it seems that’s the cost of the way that I felt when we kissed.
My thoughts were consumed when you entered the room and all others have ceased to exist.
There won’t ever be, this much giving of me, to the one who could come after you.
It surely is such that I love you so much and I solemnly swear that it’s true.
There is no repeat, no one I could meet that will have me this open and pure.
You ought to know that should you ever go; I couldn’t have given you more.
Between me and you, just what did she do, to deserve all your time and your thought?
She must be so fine to make you drop a line without a care or concern if you’re caught.
Both big and small I have given my all for a chance to behold something great.
What’s been around has came back to my town and I’m forced to eat off my own plate.
It is not fair even when you are there if you are not there with your soul
But if I were She then you’d give to Me what I needed to make Me feel whole.
Just with one note you get choked up in the throat and deliver those passionate replies.
I know you so well even if you can’t tell and I see the lies in your eyes.
