#delusionary
It's been years since I actually missed her And its a surprise because I thought I was done dreaming of her forever Not only did she break my heart But I grew to hate the things we both shared, like a broken handle on a cart. At one point during these 7 years I became delusional Creating a fake relationship for her and I, utterly insane, no? I wanted her and I to be a thing once upon a time I considered myself to be a nickel and her a dime Embarrassingly enough to say, but even before we became friends I had set my sights on becoming her man Unfortunately, I was too hasty in my confession resulting in my unused plan. I tried to not let it bother me and I was able to move on eventually Until of course I found out she was interested in my best friend, not surprisingly. He was pretty popular unlike me I, however, wanted to be useful to her so I listened to her "gush" over him because that's what a friendzoned 'nice guy' does ,right? His feelings don't matter so there's no point putting up a fight. If she's actually interested in you she'll make those feelings known. I couldn't understand that back then, but I can now since I've grown. It's been 7 years since she released me from her life. I became so jaded and bitter from all that strife. The nickel that wanted to be with a dime Can't believe I dreamt about her after all this time.

After All This Time
why do I continue this pretense? of thinking I am a poet (without any wisdom to posses) who reads his betters and weeps at their. eloquence and weeps with pity for himself and his tensile-silencing illusionary false, misleading, fanciful, chimerical, and delusionary old man notionals
