Never Got To Say I Loved You

Remember that time, when you and I met?

When I saved you from the careers, your murder I never let

Although you don't think so, you did pay the debt

Under the trees, when I was near death


That moment of accomplishment turned into a terrible night

When I heard you scream, I was filled with fright

But that was nothing compared to the horrific sight

When those pink birds longed to take flight


After I left you at the cliff, our relationship started to shift

But I broke it off, because I was miffed

The attacks from the birds, it happened quite swift

I knew I was gone, my soul would drift


The wounds you received were anything but mild

Your beautiful features have now been defiled

I blamed you, hated you, I was riled

Because you lost, you left and you died


When you were there, crying, something just clicked

I wanted to tell you, but the end came too quick

I'm sorry for leaving you, but now you won't have to pick

When it comes to both of us, if your knife you should kick


In my arms, I watched you die

On the splattered red grass you lie

Over your dead body, I did nothing but cry

But I had to leave, there were three more left to try


I hoped that you would stay, so I could have uttered those words

That I wanted to tell you, but now I can't because of the birds

My vision, my mind, they were all blurred

I couldn't talk, my message went unheard


The torment in my mind will never cease

The pain the Games brought will never decrease

That dark red liquid will help me the least

Only in death, can I find peace


Because I never got to say I loved you

Because I never got to say I loved you


Author's Note: Alright, I wrote this a while back when Catching Fire just came out. I was looking through my old notebooks when I found this poem. Decided to put it up.

I hope you liked it!
