Okay, this is the first fic in mine and Mary's one-fic-per-day challenge. To be honest, I'm not very happy with it, but I had to post something or I would lose. :)
This is a poem about Mark angsting over Maureen. Reviews are the chocolate of the fanfiction world.
I see you pass me by
A brief smile in my direction
I mean nothing.
You fly into her arms
Laughing and pulling her close
Together
You two
United
Against the world.
I remember
The warmth of your arms around me.
I watch you
Always
Your smile
Alight with laughter
Your eyes
Sparkling with unspoken joy.
I watch you
and remember
what made it
fall
apart.
Cheating
Lying
The way you flirt with everyone
The way you don't care.
I watch you
Making the same mistakes
Over and over
Again.
Will you lose her
Like
You
Lost
Me?
It hurts to watch you
Knowing how you are
Knowing you would only hurt me
But it doesn't
Change
My
Mind.
Why?
Why do I love you?
Your smile
Your eyes
Your laugh
Your smell
Your very essence
I know why
I just wish
I
Could
Escape
Your clutches.
I wish
I could see you
Without hurting
Without longing
Without remembering
I wish that
I could speak to you
Without feeling as though
I could fall
Headfirst
Into
Your
Eyes.
