Looking back at my old poetry brings back such nostalgia. Here is a piece I wrote back in high school relating to struggles with one-sided love.
The world through my eyes
Overwhelmed with lies
Underwhelmed by you and I
Meant to be
For eternity
But honestly
I’m glad we’re over
Now I’m sober
From the addiction to your love
I heard the angels cry from up above
I just gave my heart a shove
And ran away
Not just for today
It’s the price I pay
I just cannot stay
With you
I know your love is not true
What else can I do?
After all we’ve been through
I’m so glad I have the chance to start anew
I never knew
My heart could beat so fast
For something that’ll never last
Years and years have past
The spells have been cast
The time we shared was a blast
But we contrast
Each other so much
Especially with every touch
You were always a crutch
For me when I was faced with such
Hardship that came off as Dutch
I doubt we could make this right
I don’t want another fight
I’m being blinded by the white light
Our deadline’s pulling in tight
The end is nowhere in sight
Tonight
Is our last night
And albeit
I cannot deny
My love for you can’t run dry
You better know your shit don’t fly
By me, so I guess this is goodbye.
Don’t ask how or why
But I would rather die
Alone without you than to have youl lie
Next to me so don’t be shy
Try
To yell at me, but I can’t deny
That I’ll get by
No, I won’t even cry
After we say goodbye
So goodbye!
