The Perfect Path
Note: I'm back again with another poem, which is mostly the result of seeing the guy I like with his girlfriend for too long... But let's play my favorite game and see how many yu-gi-oh similarities you can find? I see a few, but I'll let you find them! Enjoy!
When you were walking the path that made you most happy,
Did you look back to see what you'd left behind?
As you took her hand in yours and made her smile,
Did you know you'd made me cry?
With your hands wrapped together,
It seems you're almost one.
And I know you're my destruction,
That I shouldn't watch you break my heart,
But all the same, I know,
I want to see your face.
Whether it's close to hers or far away,
It's all my eyes want to see…
They've told me to look away,
To find someone else who'll make me smile again,
But I just can't turn away from that smile,
Even it if makes me want to frown.
You're so happy, walking your perfect path,
And that makes me so sad to know,
That I'll never be able to follow you there,
To a special place inside the heart,
Where everything's as it ought to be,
And all you've ever wanted, all you ever need,
Is right before your eyes.
As I turn to follow you down the path,
I look back to see if there's something I've left behind.
As I put a hand over my broken heart,
I see no one that I've made cry.
But all the same, at least I looked,
At least I tried to find another path to take,
Though in the end, down yours I follow,
An intruder in your perfect life,
A shadow on the edge of your mind,
Not even able to shatter your perfect world,
Not even see by the perfect match…
As the tears fall in my mind.
I hold my head up high,
And I walk right past you now.
You glance at me, then look away.
My eyes lock on your back.
I follow you, inside my mind,
To the place that you two go.
And I look around, I try to see,
If someone could take me there.
And then you're out of sight,
But never from my mind,
And I hold my head up higher still,
To shield me from the truth.
You're back in sight,
I'm back alone,
And here we stand again.
She's gone right now,
We're all alone,
I keep walking towards the door.
Your eyes find mine,
That sudden shock,
When all the world should freeze.
Then the door closes behind me,
And I'm staring at the wall.
She's gone right now,
But she'll be back,
I should do something for you.
I should make you smile,
Try to make you laugh,
But all I have are tears.
That is all you've given me.
