Doomed From the StartA Poem by Rosi S. PhillipsThis poem is one of my most personal poems.It’s been years since I’ve written a decent poem, Zain You gave me that back What can I say? You pulled out something in me. Six days That’s longer than I expected Which is saying something sad Half an hour's past Did I tell you I charged my phone? One hundred percent battery I wanted to talk to you forever I wanted to meet the man that brought a part of me back to life Ah, how I wish it hadn’t ended I’m dying to call you, see a text, get a call from you It’ll be fine in the morning I have hours and hours to think Did I ever tell you that car was small? It was, but you made it even smaller You made me want to escape Become the wind and the rain You probably know the impact you had on me too Did you think I would write a poem about you? Ah, Zain. This isn’t how I wanted this night to end I had it all in my head I should turn off my phone I can’t turn off my phone I was going to say Staples Right across from you know where I was going to say I’d drive Because it’s the only place I can drive And we’d meet, face to face My hair would be a mess, I’d have no make up on, and a dress haphazardly thrown over You wouldn’t expect that, I’m sure Just like you wouldn’t expect me to tell others about you Why is that? I’m a sharing person I didn’t share too much, I shared just enough to get an opinion on what to do What do I do, Zain? Ah, I missed this. Working out my feelings through poems Didn’t you know? I had feelings You hurt them. But you know that You always knew that Perhaps I’m overthinking it But there is no one like you Not that I’ve met I waited for you, you know I sat, in front of my house with my phone clutched between my hands But you never called I was never tired, Zain You didn’t make me feel tired But I’m angry at you You know I would be Will you call to soothe me? Haha I’d better get to bed I have to wake up early and shake everything off But I don’t want to look at my phone Did I tell you? I deleted the app too
