This will, in much time, eventually be relevant to my story A Raven and a Writing Desk…

MY POLL IS UPDATED. This is my 45th story/poem/oneshot so go vote on the poll!

"Did You?"

I stormed out onto the balcony,
Ignoring what you said.
You grabbed me by the arm,
And said to listen to you instead.

I spun around and stared at you,
Not trying to understand.
I felt much more than upset,
Did you have some speech planned?

You tried to explain what you did that night,
Not seeming to care about me.
But then you said something odd,
That made me a little angry.

I yelled at you for what you'd stated,
Not thinking at the time.
You reached up and slapped me,
Did you notice I was quieter than a mime?

You didn't say you were sorry,
You didn't say a word.
You turned and ran away from me,
Leaving me and my vision blurred.

I felt the tears start falling,
As my cheek began to sting.
I surely was going insane.
Did you hear my ears begin to ring?

I felt the place you'd struck,
Trying not to care.
But the look you'd had on your face,
Really gave me a scare.

I stood up and saw you running,
You were running away from here.
You didn't look back,
Did you, as I watched you disappear?

I walked back inside,
And sat on my bed.
I honestly hoped you'd be back,
Even after what you said.

Years passed me by.
Each day I waited,
Hoping you'd return to me,
Did you know you aren't hated?

The days grew longer,
As I lost so much sleep.
I thought of you all the time,
And that only made me weep.

When Alice came, she helped.
She didn't even know it,
But I felt so much better,
Did you think it was just a bit?

She would talk to me,
About tiny, useless things.
Things I knew nothing about,
Like birds, and trees, and wings.

One time, she made me laugh.
I laughed so hard I cried.
Those cries turned into sobs,
Did you know I almost lied?

I told her what had happened,
And she sympathized with me.
She said she knew how I felt,
That's how her mother used to be.

Then you came back,
I was scared to talk to you.
I didn't know what to say.
Did you forgive me too?
