My Dark Poems

Somebody That I Used To Know

Sometimes when I walk
I keep my head down
Watching the cracks on the cement
As if they are part of the scars
That we left on each other's hearts

Sometimes when I watch the sunset
I think about our dreams
To vacation in the spring
To Hawaii
Where we would live on the shore
And be kissed by the waves
Where we would embrace
And your heat would
Warm me
In the midst of the cold
And I would grab your hand
Finally be bold

Sometimes I read novels
I listen to songs
And I imagine your face
I imagine us together
Dancing
Laughing
Living
Loving
Perhaps that's what broke me
In the beginning
Always imagining but never living
Never listening to your actions
That screamed for my affection

Sometimes I walk by you now
We don't meet eyes
It's as if we are strangers
Living separate lives
And I think about all the times
You were still there
Waiting for me to come meet you
By our mind numbing sea
That we created as our dreams
But your silent now
Quiet
As if your mourning
As if your grieving the death of our creation
Love

Sometimes I live in our memories
Of touches that left me on fire
With need
Talks that left me feeling closer to you
As if you were already laying next to me
But now it seems
Your only somebody I used to know
Somebody that used to see me
But lost our vision in the distance
That only left fractured mirrors
And our glass hearts

Sometimes I can see your shadow
When you leave me
And I sneak a glance
But I always regret it
Because that pain in my chest
Goes from a small hum
To a loud roar
And all I can think at that time
Is how I know you
No how I knew you
And yet that's what ruined us

Sometimes when I walk around
I keep my head down
Hoping we will never make eye contact
Hoping I will never catch you staring
Hoping I don't catch you staring at someone else
