PERSUASION POEM- Frederick
I thought I could love you again.
But all I could was hate.
The scars of my heart wanted to hurt you.
Like your words hurt me.
I wanted to burn everything that was yours.
Especially my heart.
Seeing you, but not reading you.
Made my heart bear more ache.
I wanted to see you.
The real you, the you that was buried.
The one that danced to me like the moon to the earth.
But the flash of the past froze the love to you.
So I turned my eyes to another, but not my mind.
HURT!
I was drifting as if through a dream.
A nightmare, praying that I could wake up.
I was stupid, I made mistakes, now I must pay.
I thought I could recover from my fault
But my pride tied me to a nightmare.
A marriage without you.
Then I saw my salvation, that damn box.
That box that was old, but meant something impossible.
You never stopped, even when I thought I did.
I ran, I ran towards home.
I ran forward.
YOU.
My heart couldn't stop, nor did I want it.
I had you, I was home again.
The warmth of your cheeks in my worn hand.
I near wanted to leave.
No words needed to said.
Our love filled the empty spaces.
But I wanted to say them anyways.
To clear my heart of everything, but you.
I wanted to say so much.
Yet I said only a little.
NEVER AGAIN.
