Frigid winds pushed up against my car,
and then I saw you come inside.
Those chestnut eyes
that had been gone for so long.
My enraged thoughts
were quickly unraveled
because just a simple moment with you
was worth a thousand days.
But, the feelings didn't last very long.
The car swiftly became a space filled
with words that were never said
and words that would always be dismaying.
All I wanted was to understand
but that wasn't a part of your plan.
I wanted you to come back for more
then just an obligatory visit.
Why couldn't you come back?
For now, though, we'll drive to my house
filled with laughter and lies.
See? I'm smiling.
We're doing fine.

This was a poem I wrote a very long time ago but I could never post because I tried submitting it somewhere and it took months for them to get back to me. I was rejected but now I have the chance to post it here. I hope you enjoy it.
