Today is the Day

amazingliss

Today I woke up and my first thought was you. Man you were my world. Today was the day I picked out the prettiest dress from my closet , the one that showed off my curves, oh how your smile would glow and your eyes go crazy when u saw those curves. I got the lipstick you like ..you know the rosey red one. Remember that was the one I wore the first time you saw me .., you loved my eyes always told to me how big and beautiful they were. So I spent about 20 minutes trying to get that winged eyeliner with the nude eyeshadow just for you because today was the day. But wait I can't forget about how you would tell me to come closer to get that scent of me that you said was one of a kind. I'm looking in the mirror at my reflection, checking every angle, combing my hair a little to much , making sure my lipstick is perfect because today is the day...You called me and told me that you would be outside in 10 minutes I said okay. Anxiety rushed through my body because today is the day. But I'm sitting and waiting your a no show 10,15,20,30, 45 minutes go by I call I txt but nothing no response. I think to myself why is he doing this today is the day. I sit with the phone clutched tightly to my hand waiting for it to light up with a txt from you saying " so sorry babe got held up at work coming right now " . I really want to cry but I can't I still have hope because today is the day. It is now 12:41 a.m, I'm sitting in the same spot with the phone but it rings. I smile so hard because today is the day. I answer you say " baby I am so sorry I got held up at work I'm just now leaving but I'm so exhausted lets go out tomorrow ok ? " I reply with that's fine hunny I understand but before you hung up I heard it , that laugh I knew it. My heart stopped . So many thoughts rushing through my head... But he said he was at work today.... Wait!?....what!?...huh!?..  I was going to call back but I felt embarrassed enough because today was the day. I began to walk to the mirror to wash away my makeup but when I looked my tears were already helping me with that. I stared at myself and repeated " today was the day " countless times. You know what today was!? Today was the day that I was going to tell you I loved you but know I find myself mumbling the words " I hate you " every time you cross my mind because you ruined that day. The day I couldn't wait for.

    WELCOME TO MPS ~ Thank you for a very poignant first poem. It is a beautifully penned piece of "free verse" poetry pulsating with the rhythm of "unrequited love". Painful yet beautiful to read. In my experience such writing is very cathartic and it helps to ease the pain of the events that unfold in "Today is the Day". Real Men do cry and I wept for you as I re-read it ! Especially the final lines. "I hate you" every time you cross my mind because you ruined that day. THE DAY I COULDN'T WAIT FOR. It happens to Men as well. Times of great expectation and anticipation ~ just crumble to dust and one's future is BLANK & BLEAK. Thanks for caring and sharing ~ BRIAN
