Making a mountain out of a pebble By aldo kraas, www.PoetryPoem.com/poet11586 Unlock all Features - Upgrade to Poetry Prime
You just wanted my body
And all I wanted was touch
I didn't realise one could be starved of it,
I didn't realise I'd miss it so much
But reluctantly I'll admit that, really,
I didn't see you as a tool
Because I do hold sentiment for sentiment's sake
Even though that makes me a total fool
Maybe if I'd let it go further
Then it'd be extreme enough for regret
But when confronted, why would you express remorse for a mere kiss?
I mean come on, why should we fret?
Except now you've reminded me
Of things I'd rather not remember
I can't stop dreaming of a certain day
Long ago in early November
You've messed with my head, doing that
Why couldn't we just stay apart?
Instead of flirting in our drunken stupor
Which has resulted in my conflicted heart
I try to exhaust myself, so I can sleep through my dreams
I don't want to see them, I don't
I shouldn't be thinking, feeling these things
"I really shouldn't," I tell myself, "so I won't"
I'm making a mountain out of a pebble
By sabotaging myself for this
And why should I be the only one to suffer?
Was it really my fault that we kissed?
But maybe this isn't even a problem
Maybe this is acceptable nowadays
As long as there's no feelings attached,
It's okay to kiss and then part ways
...Right?
I'll ask you to forgive me,
Because "casual" is something I don't do
Not with people, actions, feelings
So I can't understand it with you
Please explain it to me, crush me
Shoot me down and push me back
So I don't feel so confused and complicated
Make it clear it's white and black.
