Disturbing the Universe

C R U S H

At first, you were annoying

but time passed and I warmed up to you.

I found myself thinking,

Maybe, just maybe, I should change my view.

And time passed once more,

and I realized it was inevitable,

that there was no choice to be made

because feelings are irrepressible.

Despite myself, I began wondering

if there were only two people left on Earth,

could you love me too?

But what is love?

Is that what I feel for you?

Do I deserve your love,

me, who ridiculed you?

•

Me, me, me,

You, you you.

•

These thoughts consume like a wildfire.

My oxygen deprived brain will surely tire

of my feelings that give no heed

to what I truly need.

Be realistic, look at him now.

I waited too long to realize what I wanted.

People look, but they don't see what I see,

for I have always seen and simply denied.

But now you attract their gaze the way you've always attracted mine.

So what I need is to look away,

for I watched the spark grow into a flame,

but now my eyes burn.

Let someone else play with fire.

I must move on.

*A/N: Everyone writes a cliché love poem at least once in their life, right? HAHAHhaaa...

Then again, most people don't write poetry.
