Welcome to My Poetry Site
Maple Syrup Festival
*not part of the poem*
So, we have a maple syrup festival each year
it was going pretty well and I was happy because me and the guy that all my poems are about are fine.
But a girl got involved and stuff happened
So, here it is...
hey
finally got this fixed
only for a minute?
you're way too close
this is way too real
I can't control how I say I feel
it's crazy
because
denial doesn't work
but I knew that
I thought that maybe
just maybe
if I could put my focus on another boy
you would disappear
but you were that close
close enough to kiss me
your little brother's blanket brushing against my leg
it's so much
just too much
your family is standing right there
and you choose THIS minute to be real?
to stand so close to me
to speak so softly
so directly
to just me
and because I'm not smart
I push you away
back up
and walk away
from my chance
our chance
the tears
begin bursting out
I'm cursing her name
why does it always go this way?
we are just us until someone gets involved
I feel it every time and I'm pretty sure you do too
that feeling that we're meant to be
maybe that's stupid
when I get home after crying the entire way
my parents say that it's "something I have to figure out, and it's not your problem"
but I know exactly how I feel
I just don't know if I can say it out loud
I've said it before, I trust you
more than I should
but I do
the truth:
I like you
I never stopped
I'm sorry I put you through hell last night
I'm sorry that you scare the hell out of me
I can't imagine losing you again
I'm sorry I tried to do another guy, as if he could even come close to you
I'm sorry I can't let you go
love, me
