I love the way your eyebrow raises
when you feel uncomfortable.
I love the expression on your face
when you are shocked.

Does anybody else notice?
how your initial laughter explodes out of you,
like a water balloon soaking me all over.
will anyone consider?
why you use your pinky to
play with your lips,
as the other fingers scrunch together your right cheek.

Will the next boy see?
the slight back and forth
bouncing of your head when you’re hurrying.
when you stick your neck out slightly
to smile for a photo,
only when it’s your real smile.

will he be able to tell the difference,
between your real smile,
and your fake one.
But most of all i wonder,
will he point out
the yellowy spec that floats around
in your right eye.
the cliche of sparkling eyes,
of someone's eyes like stars.
you seem to have the sun in yours,

Will he revolve around it?
like i did.
like i do.

I love your mind,
I love the way it works,
the way it expresses itself,
I love its uniqueness.

The complexity of your character,
the simplicity of it.
I love each and every one
of your obsessions.
I adore your personality.

Ever since that day,
in science lab 3.
when you opened up about you.
I first learned of your true self,
you taught me,
showed me,
the most beautiful thing i've never seen,
and happiest i've ever been.

Why does the idea of it seem so nice?
so calming,
so relieving.

I think about it everyday.
slicing the skin,
letting everything spill out
with the dark red fluid.

To sit back and breathe,
finally,
at last.

Letting my thoughts slowly slip away,
until the moment i last have to worry,
the moment I can be peaceful,
the moment everything stops.

Turning towards the other wrist,
gripping the handle as tightly
as my wounded body allows.

Allowing the adrenaline to course through my veins,
forcing me to wince,
making me forget,
for an instant,
why this must be done.

I wonder, though,
would i regret it as soon as the
flesh splits open,
or just before my troubles are passed on,
or maybe, hopefully,
not at all.

My lips begin to quiver
with the rhythm of my trembling brain,
Crestfallen & bewildered,
craving all answers,
the truth,
how it can be changed.

I recall all the memories
of a different us,
longing to be together,
doing everything & nothing
to let love flourish.

Moving on is too difficult,
it is impossible to win her back.
I musnt do both,
yet i can not choose.

There is a third option.
for the moment,
for eternity,
reminiscing.

When communication dies out,
when infatuation fades.
promises were broken,
hearts forced to follow.

Our two souls drifted apart,
mine forever chasing.
I long for the love we shared,
for the feelings you gave.

No more memories will be made,
Or moments shared.
intentions of mine stay,
promises of mine kept,

My heart,
forever & ever,
yours.
Hi guys, this is the first poem I've ever written, some criticism would be appreciated. I feel is is a bit wordy and hard to read.
