Poetry

Your words had always been just like poetry to me.
Your voice held a tone that tasted of what beauty could be.
And that loud, meaningful, and desperate
rhyme
Took my heart one crooked beat at a time.

I remember when we talked of nothing for hours.
Underneath blankets and tears, your stories towered.
And I remember my thoughts, shortened and halted,
Yet I didn't care, your soft ones were strong and those, I exalted.

I don't remember the day when your words became angry.
It happened in a second, in a minute, and a year.
But I dealt with them because I loved you.
And your words, though deprecating, were still beautiful all the same.

Your words had always been just like poetry to me.
The way I saw them made me feel wrong, yet right.
But the day I realized that your words were really just knives,
That was the day that I began to write mine.
