My bitter tears Form a pool of sorrow. The water is clear, Lined with floating flowers. It calls to me, As I dive into my own grief. My mind is translucent- Clean of you so I can breathe. I shimmer across the water- Flowing and free. The sun shines through your words, And you can't touch me. Your thoughtless ways That cause my senseless pain, Have vanished... Only until the rain. The immense water ripples, As I try to find the shore. My spirit falls a little, When I realize what I chose to ignore. I see your reflection, So peaceful and serene. I begin to run, Realizing all along, It was me.
Reason for writing:
I wrote this poem about a guy I was hopelessly in love with. I blamed him for the little things about our relationship that were bothering me so much it hurt, when I realized it wasn't his fault at all- it was mine. I'd been subconciously pushing him away. I thought people could relate to it so that's why I submit it.
