You reach for my hand...
Only to find it's not there.
You look around the room,
that used to hold all these pictures
Once snapped with hands that used to eagerly embrace you,
And all you see are empty walls.
You listen for the soothing purr of 2 small friends
That used to wake you up with kisses on the nose
from sandpapery tongues
in the mornings,
Mornings where i used to beg you to hold me for 5 more minutes,
And you hear nothing.
They too, are gone.
You check your inbox,
Thinking there will be some explanation,
Some words, carefully thought out and meticulated,
But there is nothing.
You check your answering machine,
Knowing for sure that my voice will be saved there,
That my number will be on your caller id,
But today, it isn't.
The little teal car that used to drive us to countless movies
That i would fall asleep for
Is no longer in the driveway.
You go to work, and the board that holds 18 names
Isn't holding mine, or a carefully sketched "glittergirl"
And i'm not there either.
It's as if one day i was here,
And the next, nowhere to be found.
You hear the words "too little too late" in your head,
And you that it's too late to say the things you had a million chances to say
And it will fall upon deaf ears,
Because this girl, will be long gone.
The imprint of your hand is on my chest forevermore
Where you pushed me away from you,
Over and over.
The unmistakable salty scent of tears on my pillow
A reminder of nights i cried for you to be here,
But you weren't.
And what are pictures, happy memories,
If they don't lead up to anything but heartache?
They are pieces of paper in a shoebox shoved under one's bed,
To be forgotten.
One day, i wont be here anymore,
Waiting around for a boy who isn't capable of loving me back.
I will be following the sunrise to some place
That doesn't reak of loneliness
Like this place does.
You'll be just another boy who broke my heart
And who i write about every now and then in my poems,
But whose face i'll try with every ounce of me to forget.
Hopefully, you won't ever let that day come.
You will embrace what you have here now,
And stop taking it all for granted.
Because every day i grow a little stronger without you,
And what i couldn't do 3 years ago with him,
I will have no trouble doing with you now.
I love you...
Can't you just love me back?
Only to find it's not there.
