To love you was a crime
But I didn't give a damn
A world with you was a lie
The sun there never shines
I had kept my silence for months
But I have to share this pain
I can no longer endure
About the past we shared that once so pure
You and I were never a romance
My friends knew I didn't stand a chance
But I didn't tell them the truth
What had gone between me and you
You cried to me as gods dimmed your light
You breathed to me in a heartsick dance
You slept with me in a dreamy once
You ran to me in your fateful night
Months had passed and there you are
Dealing with boys who thought they're stars
Throwing shades at hopeful girls
Failing maths as bluebooks burn
You've turned into a jerk like them
Your old smile has long died and left
I thought you knew better than this
But you end up like a washed-up piss
And now you all laugh at me in a sneer
You may have told them how I fell
And the secrets I shouldn't tell
But you're just a mess who live for beer
Have you also told them the truth about us?
How we lingered in each other's arms,
How we slept in one pillow dreaming of stars,
And how I came to you with undying trust?
Did you tell them what happened to us?
How I fell to your endearing charms,
How I thought we were raising society's bars,
And how you lost every piece of my trust?
Have you told them about that fateful night?
When you were beaten by these boys for common bond?
Have you told them about the violet legs
And the endless tears I saw you shed?
Luis, why does everything have to end this way?
Luis, why do you hide yourself by the day?
It seems like you live in two different cities
One with love and one that is hazy
You hide yourself in a lifeless cave
Instead of the outside's sunny shade
You hate the end of every dawn
'Cause its breaking shows you your wrong
I wish I can tell you everything will be fine
But you have crossed the gods' faulty line
It's time to face the hard truth
We both hated and knew
I wanna scream your name out all over the songs I wrote for you
I wanna let the whole world know how and why I can't forget you too soon
But I am still hoping we can go back to how we were back then
All I want is to relive all the pleasant memories we had once spent
I'm still hoping you'd come back to this place
And put everything right back on its place
And I will be waiting for you here in this part of the city
I'll be here hoping that you'll soon know that this is where you should be
Luis' two cities:
The desperation this poem portrays is alluring and really holds the readers attention and to want more of this tale. The hopelessness of the characters and their situation is pure melodrama, but so inticingly so. Loved your work here in this poem and lets read more ginsywilde's. Well written and exciting to read.
