Car Crash

I.

At first it’s obsession,
wondering about every motion,
obsessing over the smallest details:
yours,
mine;

his,

hers.

II.

It grows comforting,
movements of the mind and body:
familiar
laughter
when an imprint of the bed is visible

from waiting for your voice.

III.

Boldness:

routine
heart-pounding:

beating beneath the breast


doesn’t stop



not for sleep

IIII.

In an instant,

car crash,
things change

VI.

What once was warm,


lovely
grows cold, (back)



bitter,



resentful;
no matter that gracing smile

when a kiss is played in my mind.

VII.

Though long ago
memories aren’t erased

not forgotten
though

when they hurt again
we wish to forget

that's definitely true; when i remember, there are some things that I just wish I could block out... xxtearsxofxlunaxx, how exactly did this make you happy?



but if sad poems make u happy, i'm kinda curious what you would say about mine - i agree with most of your comments on past poetry, and want to know what you'd say about my poem: TeenInk.com/raw/Poetry/article/91407/A-Lonely-Rain/. enjoy!

Ohh!

I really really like this one.

Especially the way that it is formed, and such.

It was VERY nicely done. =]
