Everything That Never Happened 

Best friend, 
comrad, 
confidant. 
Deceiving 
myself, 
with your kind 
acceptance. 

My heart, 
stopping, 
skipping beats, 
fluttering 
insane. 
Secretly, 
pulling, dreaming 
saying, crying, 
loving, 
invain. 

Your eyes 
that watched 
with pity, 
sorrow, 
and embarrassement. 
I couldn't 
control, 
the out burst, 
I told, 
by accident. 

Your smile 
becoming broken, 
as every thing 
that was built, 
is shaken. 
The core quaking, 
the roots 
weakening, 
and the words, 
that I forced 
you into saying. 
With my selfish, 
feelings. 

I tried to stomp 
it down, 
but my mind wouldn't 
have it. 
It was planted, 
with the thought 
of us actually happening. 
The pain, 
the ache, 
the sound of my heart 
crying all out 
as it breaks. 

The pieces 
that are better off lost. 
The cost of 
my mental infatuation. 
My pulse beating 
in my eardrums, 
the torture of that 
situation, 
scarring me into 
fake smiles, 
fighting to hide, 
this affection inside, 
in total desperation. 


You don't see me, 
in the same light that 
I do. 
To you, 
I'm damaged goods. 
Its better to lay low, 
in my utter anguish. 
I'll wait for this 
suffering to vanish. 
For the flame to be 
diminish, 
into nothing. 

I wish that you could hear, 
all the words I'm too 
afraid to say. 
It's much easier 
to run away, 
than to face the wound 
alone. 
I wish I could hate you, 
it would 
hurt less, 
I should have known. 

Time out, 
time in, 
not a thing was 
left the same. 
You turning into 
an acquaintance, 
no longer a friend. 
Trying to act, 
like you didn´t notice, 
but its hard to pretend. 
Its hard to accept, 
the coming of the end, 
marking into me, 
the memory, of 
everything that never 
happened.
