Nothing

Never is there nothing when you look into my eyes

And ask me that one question which I so much despise

Thoughts race quickly through me and I strain to keep them in

Wishing wanting wondering were do I begin

I fear my feeble fumbling can not describe in sound

What my fingers on this keyboard so easily have found

I’ve held this in for far to long, I bite my tongue to much

All the things I can not say are said to you through touch

And all I want to show you are the things the world can’t see

My deepest thoughts and feelings, the greatest parts of me.

I want to dive right in but I’m afraid that I might drown

So tip toe slowly will I ‘till it all comes crashing down

 

I knew these days were coming, but I did not know how soon

I can’t believe I feel this way, only half way into June

But soon this warmth we’re feeling will turn to bitter cold

It’s funny how now looking back it all seemed to unfold.

Why did you have to leave me here so hopelessly alone

When all you had to do is call and I’d pick up the phone.

 

You’ll always hold a part of me, and I a piece of you

And even in my darkest days, just ask and I’ll come through

But after how I felt for you, and how you treated me

No if could ever turn a then into an it would be.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This started as a poem for Katie on her birthday.  I didn't get it finished in time.  My mind just wasn't poetic at the time.  So it starts out very effectionately and turns in the middle.  It's the full progression of our relationship in 22 lines.

I sent this to her in an e-mail. All she had to say was how awefull I was for laying the failure of our relationship on her. She did not understand that I only sent this to her as a gift. I wanted her to know what I wrote and felt about her. It wasn't meant to be a bad thing. I wish someone, anyone would write something, anything about me.
