#wore - Hello Poetry

No reason until. Reassured and measured. You take off your buttoned shirt. Smothered in dead dye. Left confined, smiling, once. A murmur. No place. Left wanted. All streaming in haunting. Let go. As the back of candles remember, the brain that coursed in The drip. The flow. The pit. In the stomach. Just, still. Garrett Johnson

No weight for love No, no love has weight No power for it No, no it has full When it leads to nature Marriage When she wore white Dress When he wore a black Suite To be union in one Night and day Work and rest Love and may be hate Slightly not hard As the salt in food Little makes it good More spoil it Fly with you heart It will have ascended only Beside your beauty And said it had no weight

# Today I gave up Gave up on you Forgot the things that we did Forgot the people we were Today I thought For a moment too soon You don't need me in your life I thought I don't need you Today I wore Wore the necklace meant for you Gave the keychain away Put the shirt somewhere safe Today I felt Felt that you lost your place No room left within my heart Not after all this time apart Today I knew That I had past a point A point of no return Its time to start a new Today is the last day The last day that I think of you My heart no longer racing no longer aching for you Today I'm Free I can finally be me I'm my very own person As I finally found the key At last I can say G o o d b y e #

When you told me you loved me again you were wearing the same shirt as when you told me you just wanted to be friends and I had to stare at the same buttons through the same tears because I knew it couldn’t be true. This was after we sat at the same table where we celebrated a year of memories after we threw them out only to recreate them now. And I’m unaware if you had more or less to drink now than the night you first told me you loved me. All I know for sure is that you had the same tears in your eyes as the time you called me wonderful as you call me amazing now. Wonderful was only enough for the 39 days after you first said you loved me and amazing was only enough for a suspended five days and I was right. You asked me to stay knowing you were going to leave and I should have known because you’re always the one to leave and I’m always the one to stay but as we both drive away from the place that birthed us I can’t be mad at it or sad for what we lost because there is nothing to return to. We over stayed our welcome, we wore out what we built by going in circles, dancing with the same issues, and orbiting around the same moon and me and you and her. There’s the expression of beating a dead horse with a stick and we are the horse and the stick, we were waves that kept hitting the same shore and we’ve hung ourselves out to dry and we are now an aftertaste in the back of my mouth.

I wrote a poem for my biography to a special person about Adam, I thought you would like to read it. Blue Heart You were 18, so many years in front of you. It felt like a dark eternity, you didn’t want to go. I saw it in your sunken eyes. The vacant stare and sad dark eyes. I saw when you were sitting around the table prom night. So much going around but you were too calm too collected. too inside your mind for us. I knew that blank expression from experience All too well. You screamed for help silent and loud I reached for your hand but you f e l l You were poised and calm Broken but full of love. All I wanted to do was help you. you were standing still when the world went on and it did go on, it did, without you. When you were standing there at the edge I wondered about you, all in my head. We were short lived, a friendship that was fast. You came, changed me, then you left. it came and went in a flash. I knew when no one else could guess. you put it all on me, didn’t you. but I was not cross with you. Heartbroken, yes scared, yes alone, yes mad, no Your color was blue Blue heart, blue veins Blue is the color of our planet from far far away we wore it proud it was all for you, a blue solemn silence. and the world spun fast and all the people hurried fast, real fast and no one ever smiled. You weren’t all there, in that head of yours. dark and empty you were sad but you lived like you would die tomorrow tomorrow came too soon and it was up to you. it was always up to you. Meeting you was bitter you put me through stress, anxiety and heartache you put me through shame and shock All I wanted was you by my side, and you there was not. Meeting you was sweet you gave me smiles and laughs, good music and thoughts you gave me a feeling of friendship and care. All I wanted was you by my side, but you were not there. You were poised and calm, you rubbed off on me. I was hyped and excited you called me “ADHD” You drove an old red beater with water bottles everywhere, with **** in the glove compartment. but you didn’t care. Your drove with sunglasses and the FM radio loud. You drove in silence, thinking no doubt. You loved the sun but you would hike for the shade when we were together you took me away. I didn’t think, I didn’t have nerves. We talked about the world We talked about life You had a life you thought you didn’t deserve. Whoever planted that seed had some **** nerve you wrote like me but I wrote for myself you wrote for us when there’d be nothing else. I knew when no one else could guess. you put it all on me, didn’t you. but I was not mad. Heartbroken, yes scared, yes alone, yes mad, no When you were gone I read and I read i wanted to know exactly when you felt what you felt. You called me your jav friend you called me your angel You are up there watching over me I yelled and screamed I couldn’t breathe. I shut them out, I cursed at you. I hated you I cried for you I only see you in my head Dreaming once and a while of your smile, of your eyes but they are never dark they are never sad they are never empty The vacant stare is not there. your hair is a giant mess and I freeze that moment right there. You said you were alone you said it was a secret you asked me about my darkest and you told me all your secrets I have never been in that much peace knowing I kept you there It felt like moments when it was hours and you were gone too **** soon. tomorrow came too fast and it was up to you. it was always up to you. Now I wear a band on my wrist and pray for your peace that is all I have left, but you mean so much to me. I hope you are happy, I hope your journey has ended and you found what you wanted My heart was once broken but soon if all this is true it will be mended.
