Still Not Over You

This was written about my crush, Frankie. I wrote this as the words came to me. 5/24/10

I scream out in pain with each look that you give her.

My heart crumples into non-existence when you smile at her.

The world around me falls into nothing as you stride away from me

Leaving me all alone to fend for myself in this unforgiving life.

 

I suppose it was my fault, though

As I should have spoken a few words that would send my soul into your heart.

However, nothing was spoken by you or I.

What could have been spoken?

 

"Hi, Frankie. My name is Gabby"?

That wouldn't do, as you already know who I am.

I sigh thinking about this past year that we've spent staring at each other

And smiling at each other.

 

NO WORD WAS SPOKEN

 

"Hi, Frankie. What are you listening to?"?

Maybe that would work, when you listen to your music.

The music that fills your ears and enters your heart.

The words and sounds that make life worth living.

 

I have always liked to sing beautiful songs.

I've been in music class since third grade.

I thank you for all of the experience you gave me.

Because of you, I have the ability to feel what I sing.

 

I will keep on singing my song for you, dear Frankie,

With hopes that you will someday hear it and love me.

Nevertheless, I can't do anything else until that day.

My sweet, Italian bambino, I am still not over you.

Author's Note

This isn't really supposed to be good. I just wrote what came out of my heart at the time.

I think this is actually a nice step forward for you. You show a bit more organization and control in this poem than in some of your others. He may not be your last, but he may help you discover something about yourself. Really observe yourself and see where things take you.

[Bhavya Kaushik]

Ah! This is exactly how I feel..as if like you dont exists...Great work here, emotionally very powerful and totally heartfelt write

[aftervision]

you poured your heart out with this one -- placing yourself on the highway of life - love - and pain -- it takes a strong heart to protect a weak heart -- you seem to have a balance of both my poet

[ChristianM]

Very sweet and a pure display of what the heart is thinking.
I love it.

[Huggy Bear]

This is a great read and I love it:)

[Michael X]

this is an awsome poem because it shows just how much you are willing
to give, and your words are equally as heartbreaking to see the emotional
turmoil you've been through, imo, if someone doesn't respect his kind of
real devotion, they are not worth your precious time, excellent job
