#originalwriting - Hello Poetry

Is it necessary to stay away? Should I be ignoring you or staying away— like I was suggested to? Why do I need to forget you? Why was I attacked when I was forbidden for you? Why have you not moved when I'm totally out of my shoe? Why are you avoiding me when all I can see is— you? Why are you sitting still when i have completely fallen? Why are you sitting still when i have completely fallen? Why aren't you opposing the world like I do? Why can't I say I love you — When it is all true?

Did I ever love anyone? You know, maybe Someone was nice to me, Maybe he took care of me. But truly, I loved Only one person. Only once. His eyes - my eyes loved them deeply - Were more beautiful than anyone else’s. His warm hands, holding mine, And he hugged me tightly, So gently, like no one else. And in that moment, I was happy. Really. Because he loved me With the most honest love, And I loved him back. But it was all for nothing. Now he loves someone else the same way, And he doesn’t think about me. She’s shorter, A little prettier, And she suits him better. Or maybe I never suited him at all? Maybe he never even liked me, And I just made it all up? Because how can you Forget someone so fast? And me? I still love him the same. It’s hard to say this, But there wasn’t a single day When I didn’t think of him. Even the lines of my favorite song Always remind me How stupid it all was. All the feelings, all the touch - Now they disgust me. I don’t want to look into his eyes And see that he doesn’t care. Probably, never again Will I love anyone. And he will never know How much I loved him. I will never feel A thing like love again.

I really wanted to love someone else, But its not him.

I have retired from temptations of attention. I’ve retired from the need to judge. I’ve retired from feeling like I need that moment, And I’ve retired from feeling too sad. I have retired into a place of contemplation — A place nearby, and where I sit. I have retired from feeling guilty, And I’ve retired from needing your yes. I am retired.

I am Retired

I have retired from temptations of attention. I’ve retired from the need to judge. I’ve retired from feeling like I need that moment, And I’ve retired from feeling too sad. I have retired into a place of contemplation — A place nearby, and where I sit. I have retired from feeling guilty, And I’ve retired from needing your yes. I am retired.
