tension

you built upon a lie

you stare at me

like i'm guilty of a crime.

i know what i've done,

and i know i was right.

i can't disappear

no matter how i try

 

the coldness

behind your golden eyes

is nothing to me

it's hard to recognize.

maturity

seems emotionless

my only love

remains indifferent

 

it's just a memory now, no point in holding on.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

i have come to believe that if i write a song about a girl, any future relationship will be cursed.

 

for this reason, among many others, i don't write that many songs about women anymore.

 

it's been a year and a half, and you won't talk to me. i still love you like a sister.

Funny how we think that of

Funny how we think that of the women we love/loved. There was a time that all I could write off and think of was the girl. And immortalising my feelings sometimes served to stifle and anchor me in place while she moved on. Perhaps writing in hindsight has distinct advantages, emotion-wise. Thanks for sharing.

here is poetry that doesn't always conform
