I was listening to a sad song, and all of a sudden I felt compelled to write. This is the first poem I've written in almost 2 months. It's called powerless.
I think what hurt the most
is knowing it didn't matter
what I would say or what I would do.
I never had to wonder if you were OK.
Because even if you weren't,
you never would say.
Said you'd rather die
than make me ever feel that way; powerless.
You wanted me to believe
that love could conquer all,
but you never believed it yourself.
I wish you would have let me try to catch you when you knew you were starting to fall.
But for what it's worth,
even though you're not here,
I will never feel truly powerless
because I will always have the power to remember you.
And in that way,
I guess love can't conquer all,
but now I know it can live through all.
And that will have to be enough.
