To Him MAG
You are just a footnote
In my autobiography
A saccharin “It’s been so long”
At our future reunion
Last summer I longed for you
But that was so long ago
We were just two awkward youths
With two awkward hearts
Playing each other like poker cards.
You have a full house?
I have a flush.
Watch me flush you away
Down the drain that leads to a world
Outside of my own.
You’ll be happy there.
You were just a sheep
In my restless, childhood dreams.
A “could have been”
That never was.
And never will be.
I still feel our artificial passion
Thickening the air between us like a toxin.

This is just awesome, and personally relateable. You were really able to catch the feeling, and still succeeded in telling a story. Kinda reminds me of my own writing! Keep up the good work, P&L

i can relate to ur poem. i had just meet some guy a friend of a friend u no the story. we where pretty tight hanging out more then i would with my boy friend at the time. talking to him on the phone for like 10-15 hours straight. he was always telling me about his life and i'd jst sit there lisening. he always made me laugh. until i told him bout my life and my problems that i was deling with. then our relationship started to get rocky.we didnt talk as much and we didnt hang out as much. i think even u no where this is going. i tryed to fix it thought he was the guy that would be perfect for me. BOY was i wrong! we stopped talking for 3 weeks then i got him to talk to me again. we finally hung out and i was walking by him and my friend pushed me into him
