Trial and Error

Small poem I wrote for school.

Trial and Error

It will always be you to outlast

Taken aback from harsh realities

How could both you and I be so naive

I realize now what’s in the past

I feel my heart droop

seconds from decay

Only left at last

was my soulless body there to stay

Engulfed in the shadows

where I recede

Just a figment of imagination

Why was I last to heed?

Stared into a reflector 

Waiting for time to pass

Portrayed no sign of emotion

This love wasn’t meant to last

I never tried hard, nor will I ever

Your heart is a fire, an everlasting blaze

Such a painstaking attempt at endeavor

I wish I could just take back all those sunny summer days

Something’s not right, I can tell

When I see your face

I forget all my worries�"

forgotten by your spell

Stalk through this jungle

Let the creepers brush your gossamer skin

Kill them all, without struggle

For the all hatred comes far from within

Can’t see my shadowed heart?

Knew this’d happen from the start

What can I do, go and prevent?

Why? You could never see the resulting lament…

I can’t tell if you want to be around me 

I know I can get clingy, not easily dispelled

But why do you choose to sit by me when you could sit freely?

I’m getting ahead of myself here, can’t stop this, really

Climb up past the canopy

dart between the mass field of branches

Trust nothing, yield for no one

Fear not, loose no sanity

I need nothing more

than the simple thought us being friends

Prepare to endure

our painfully story until the end

Skull ever-so bleak

Paws so small and oblique

Whiskers quiver

A fox could never forgive her

Bulky wide ears, covered with mud

Large paws, enveloped in dry blood

Eyes too narrow

Her heart was softer than bone marrow

A moss covered wall complete with vines, weeds, flowers, and all

Cracked cobbled stones shone bright with failed errors of protection, where bugs crawl

But with simple words, the small fox, she blew down it all with the smallest voice

But no one rejoiced

Thousands of years grew this tree

which stands before me

It’s leaves greater than the sorrows

of any aching heart

Many climb to see the top

But no one was quite there

Everlasting berries grew on the highest peak

where only some could reach, ’really wasn’t fair

Love’s like a ghost

It wanders wherever it wants

Shows itself to who it haunts

Never comes back after it’s seen

Love’s like liquid

It follows a certain path

Only you can change the direction it’s flowing, ’stop it from it’s wrath

Liquid can be hot, cold; wicked

Painted pink smoke

Painted blue water

Always covered by a cloak,

Was two colors that had sought her

Stained paint

Color the world

With your brush of love

Your futures ‘coming all unfurled

Look down upon the stars

Break every single heavy heart

Leaving everyone with scars

Smash them, burn them, pull them apart

Leave them all back in the past

I’m following straight behind you

Picking up each single scrap, which you threw out in the vast

Your heart is completely blue

I’m pink�"

that’s not right!

Why are colors changing with every blink?

Nothing’s the same; blurred is my sight!

I stand anesthetized

By the colors in your eyes

I gave you every inch of my heart

How come no one hears my cries?

I’m not happy�"I’ll never be!

“I’m doing great!" that isn’t true

Putting on a fake disguise

doing all these things for you

You inspire me everyday

You make me want to write poems, tell stories, sing songs, draw drawings

You make me feel good in every way

Wish I could show you how I felt; display

How I wish it was nice outside

Bring you to a park at sunset, tell you how I feel

But sadly these thoughts aren’t applied

To our Earth’s planned rotation wheel

Too bad you don’t feel the same

Oh what a waste my efforts are

But it isn’t you who is to blame

Let’s talk another day
