The Path Within

I Gave Him a Reason (A Poet's Note)

Dear You,

I saw a picture of you today

There's not much more I can say

I hope that this will make you laugh

What rhymes with laugh? Oh! A giraffe!

This whole thing is actually pretty stupid

Thoughts all brought upon by Cupid

Even my rhyming really sucks

Oh well, I give zero fucks

Sometimes it's like trying to find a word that rhymes with orange

Like blorange, gorange, yeorange, you get the point

So why did I do this, you ask?

I really thought it would be a fun task

But no, really now, I'll get to the point

This would probably be easier if I had a joint...

Enough cracking jokes, I'll be real

And tell you how I really feel

I don't know what you did to me

I just can't go back to how I used to be

Maybe that's a tad dramatic

Or maybe even a little erratic

But still, here I am

Giving my keyboard a slam

Of words, yet again for you

Words that sound so blue

As much as I told you that I was over you

Well yeah, I kind of lied, I thought you knew

It was circumstantial

Although to me, substantial

To lose you

It wasn't your fault

It wasn't my fault

Yet I questioned the possibility

Of meeting someone with your amiability

For quite a few months, I admit

At times I really wanted to quit

Then I questioned myself- Why?

Did I really know it was a true goodbye?

I could be free on my own

I never minded being alone

I could be by myself

With only my things on my shelf

I thought I would be content with that lifestyle

After all, I was still able to smile

Just so you know

This was written months ago

On the eve of my 22nd birthday to be exact

Isn't that an interesting fact?

I don't know if I have gotten my point across

I really hope this isn't a loss

I've got just one question

Before I end this session

How many girls have put so much meaning in a word?

Especially, from someone like me, a nerd?

Maybe it's irrational, senseless, and unreasonable

Or even foolish, unfounded, and unjustifiable

But we always knew me to be quite bold

If you would like to, go ahead and scold

So why did I write so much?

And get quite personal, and such?

I thought that in your head, my words would stay

To give you a reason to talk to me again some day

From,

Me
