A Letter to You

A Letter to You

 

We walked together and it’s six years later

Sometimes when your smile gawks me in conversation

I can’t help but think, maybe

(Your eyes, they’re so beautiful)

Quite possibly, but in reality

…it is I who wounds me

 

Brandon

Your hand, well you know your hand;

How it can creep slowly to land,

Inside my palm, where it feels so soothing

Calm and unmoving, I seem

When I can’t distinguish, truth from dream

 

My reality, what it means to me

How its fallacy, follows constantly

…parasite in my mind

It eats away, what I want to say

In its replay, with everyday

…wishing you were mine

 

Wallowing in our past,

Feet to fall further- fast

…and I can’t balance through

When I think of you

When I think that this will last

 

Brandon

Your heart, well you know your heart;

How it can restart, while mine falls apart

Used, unfastening hundreds of letters

Do you see how they fall like feathers? Such pawns

In your shuffling of Jake's and John's

 

Cuz every time is a rigid rhyme

And it falls apart, when I’m in the dark

…wishing you were mine

Reaching out, when it’s talked about

With or without, I’ll stay devout

…living life like its fine

 

Cuz disappointment in the past,

Grew feet to fall further- fast

…and I won’t balance through

When I think of you

When I know that this won’t last

A Letter to You

Thank you for this story and your thoughts. Life and memory allow us to become wiser if we are lucky. A strong ending to a outstanding story.

This is such a smoothly written poem. Almost a song in my mind as I read. Touching, deep meaning and love is portrayed throughout. You did a great job with this!

*sigh* I can relate, Joshua.
I love the lines "Your hand, well you know your hand" and then "Your heart", it underlines the intimacy you shared with that person and how well you know those parts of them. The longing and confusion of lost or unrequited love comes across so well.
