nh-asher - Hello Poetry

Subtlety is lost on you But this one isn't It's the minor chord that strikes suddenly Filling you with the palpable realization That I love you more And what does that to you? Knowing that I am the one who Laughs more Remembers more Lingers more Grieves more Loves more Are you loathe to have settled? Are you proud? Are you powerful? And me diminished?

Diminished

Subtlety is lost on you But this one isn't It's the minor chord that strikes suddenly Filling you with the palpable realization That I love you more And what does that to you? Knowing that I am the one who Laughs more Remembers more Lingers more Grieves more Loves more Are you loathe to have settled? Are you proud? Are you powerful? And me diminished?

You sang me John Mayer in my ear Eyes half-closed from drunken drowsiness And happiness I teetered and tottered, young next to you A little rambunctious and uninhibitedly grinning Into your pupils, black holes swimming in blue It was not electric or chemical or explosive It was unpredictable but apparent It was real and it was raw and it was sweet Your whispers linger in my heart still The tender caress of your hand Urgency and gentleness I chose to leave It was my decision I understand this And I know I a built a wall, claimed the title of introvert But you know as well as I do It meant something One day you'll be famous and you'll have everything You ever dreamed of, exactly like you planned Your hopes, your ambitions, the one And I will too, though I waver on that belief right now I'll be wonderful too And in the back of my mind, I imagine you will still remember the sweetness

You'll Be Famous

You sang me John Mayer in my ear Eyes half-closed from drunken drowsiness And happiness I teetered and tottered, young next to you A little rambunctious and uninhibitedly grinning Into your pupils, black holes swimming in blue It was not electric or chemical or explosive It was unpredictable but apparent It was real and it was raw and it was sweet Your whispers linger in my heart still The tender caress of your hand Urgency and gentleness I chose to leave It was my decision I understand this And I know I a built a wall, claimed the title of introvert But you know as well as I do It meant something One day you'll be famous and you'll have everything You ever dreamed of, exactly like you planned Your hopes, your ambitions, the one And I will too, though I waver on that belief right now I'll be wonderful too And in the back of my mind, I imagine you will still remember the sweetness

And so it is this You lash out in spite A subtle surface wound Straight down the middle Of my open heart It was only you That could pry it open Slowly, softly, oh, but surely And slice where it is most tender I am just flesh Then I am stone Cold as cracked glass Shattered over pavement Spilling onto the street That I would cut you by chance And your look of bewilderment The indignant glare The feigned nonchalance As if you didn't care But you do and I do And so we remain, silent.

We remain

And so it is this You lash out in spite A subtle surface wound Straight down the middle Of my open heart It was only you That could pry it open Slowly, softly, oh, but surely And slice where it is most tender I am just flesh Then I am stone Cold as cracked glass Shattered over pavement Spilling onto the street That I would cut you by chance And your look of bewilderment The indignant glare The feigned nonchalance As if you didn't care But you do and I do And so we remain, silent.
