you know
I thought I couldn't write
anymore
too long staring at the sun, so bright
blinding
like your beauty
laughing
when you asked why I was so moody
Its cute
how no one else reads my eyes
no one but you
scars, so much
crisscrossing, or star crossed
yet with one touch
from you, they erased, all gone, lost
I was scared
when you were gone
nothing else compared
withdrawn
I couldn't play piano
couldn't speak
couldn't sleep, too many shadows
of you, everywhere, even when I close my eyes
that you said you loved
but most importantly, I couldn't write
I always write
that's when I realized
you weren't just everything
you were mine
you inspired
with just a smile
it was rude
the way you said you liked my attitude
I thought I could box it all away
from the way you said my name
to the burning pain
to the way I still miss you
miss hanging out in my room
whispering things in the dark
unheard, yet present, marked
"love me"
you said,
"like you love escaping inside a books fantasy
like you love feeling the rain on your petals
because you're my flower
my chrysanthemum"
I believed
now I cry
why was I so stupid?
why do I still crave your love
when its not love, when it'll just break me
again, like always, a shattered heart
now I know why I can't make art
I know why I cant play piano
cant sleep,
or speak
but most importantly
I know why I couldn't write
not because I lost my touch
but because you blinded my sight
because it was all too much
when we were no longer us
but just you and I
and I still remember your watery eyes
when you lied

A strong feeling of reliance in this poem of calling out for one desired. Very nicely written
