A Poem by IWASNEVERTHERE


When I do fly away
Tell me would you miss me?
A bird never has a home
At this point never do I
I've placed parts of me as landmarks
A guide through my mind
More importantly a representation of my heart
These are the words I never say
This is me at my most vulnerable
No shield to block my emotions
Just words
Words I wish I could have told you
Words I wish I could have told her
Words waiting to be free
These letters are my flight
Soaring away from the facade I put up
Walking the earth searching for stars
I am genuinely happy
Happiness is a strange thing
Tears, smiles, laughs
This earth is an adventure
An hourglass waiting to crack
It all depends on what you do with it
In 20 years I've experienced a lifetime
I've felt pain
Pain enough to stare at a blurry mirror
Trying to decipher who I am
I've felt love
The love of family
A bond strong enough to make atoms cry
A missing piece but somewhat a complete puzzle
I've been loved
I've loved too
Each love a different experience
For now my heart is somewhere miles away
She'll probably never know she inspired this
That's the beauty of it
Love doesn't have to burn away
The pain itself shows you loved
Each flickr a memory I hold dear
My hands are burning but I'm still holding on
You'll never know if it works out
Ambiguity is the gift of a poet
This story is yours to complete
Just know I'm still breathing
Who knows where part two might lead us?
The characters might have changed by then
I have a feeling one would stay
For some reason I can't walk away
I wonder if she can't too
Our attraction has always been fatal
Maybe that's why I find it hard to give my heart away
How can you give something that's already with someone?
The questions I ask myself at 3am
For now take a seat
Fly with me through my turbulent mind
For these brief minutes you're bird too
Another landmark in a life I've yet to live
