Couldn't believe

All this time,

Months and months,

getting over you,

forgetting all I knew,

 

But then you came back,

I didn't know who you were at first,

a man in the distance staring at me,

and then I wave, and see, and know-

 

It's you.

 

I gasp for air but no air comes,

my heart doesnt beat it just feels empty.

I feel like *the world has ****** out all of my life*,

just an empty carcass, a structure without a soul.

 

It's not fair anymore- i think,

my heart cries but my brain stops it showing,

I ask why you're here and you say you just came by,

 

BUT WHY?

 

why do that?

at the end of the year,

after months of no contact-

 

just show up like everything is fine.

 

But thats you though,

You use your arrogance and smile against me,

 

My guards are up at first but slowly i relax,

pretend it's all ok,

that you're not going to leave,

that I'm the innocent little teenager that fell for you.

 

And my guards fall down,

I let myself be me,

I flirt and you flirt back,

 

I thought that it would be ok,

 

But it isn't

 

As soon as I let myself go it's time to leave,

time to say goodbye,

time to act like nothing happened.

Pretend I hate you in front of my mother,

When in fact I'm still drawn to you,

I still dream and I still love you,

 

I just can't help it.

 

And then you walk away,

not even saying goodbye.

 

Thats the third time now,

the third time I love you and you leave,

 

and I cry,

But don't let my feelings show to anyone.

 

Except my ipod and the tear stains on my book.

 

I love you.

 

I'll never forget you.

 

I want you to say you love me,

 

But I know it will never work.

 

I know you won't be with me,

 

I know I'll always be empty.

 

Waiting,

 

Just waiting.....

Ok so....this is a bit ******* but I can't think of structure at a time like this. You may have realised that the boy I write the majority of sad poems about (boy with black hair) came back yesterday. And it hurt. Big time. I may make another poem about it that actually is a poem and not jumbled words together.
