I assembled this ship
Bits by bits
Only to watch it get wrecked
By you
And then it hurt so bad that, after that moment, it never hurt at all
I let you in
Inch by inch
only to have you
leave me abandoned again
And maybe it was my fault to chase the light that burnt for someone else and to hope it would stay
I fell
Slowly, carefully
Then all at once; recklessly
And hit the ground so hard
And maybe it is never the fall that hurts but it's the landing that makes us writhe in pain
I wrote you poems
Word by word
Only to have them
Classified under "stupid clichés"
And maybe you were right, there is nothing I can write that has not been written before without making it a cliché
I gave you a place
In my thoughts
Day after day
You became my (only) muse
*And maybe if they knew, I'm just a poet who always wanted to be woven in words and be someone's poem.
I tried something new here. There are 15 words in each stanza followed by a description. It is not my best but this is the first time I have tried planning my poem and arranging the words in a particular manner so I hope you enjoy it
