PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

she asked me if i was gunna tell you

about me and my ex.

i said no, 

i said no you wouldn't care.

she thought differently.

she says you really like me.

do you like me?

are we real or just rebounding?

sometimes i'm not so sure.

sometimes this feels like drowning.

oh, do you know what i mean?

can you see my heart

isn't bursting at the seams?

you know i'm so crazy

and my judgement gets real hazy

when we're drinking wine,

and smoking so loud

i cannot hear myself think.

do you remember that night 

before we "started",

and you pulled me by my wrist outside.

you asked me to marry you that night.

i laughed and said it wasn't right.

you are beautiful,

but what good is beauty

when it doesn't feel exactly right?

i could spend some time with you

make you see things 

you never knew to be true.

but i could never love you, baby.

i could never carry the weight of your soul.

we both feel too deeply,

and i am afraid that i will end up hurting you.

i hope someday you can forgive me

for loving you with all my heart,

even though i never let us start.
