to you

i worry i am not enough for you

i worry that it was all a fancy

i worry that its all gone awry

i love you

i loved you

i'm scared

because i'm so prone to change

as i grow a little bit older

to find myself

in this world of ours

i wonder

where i stand in your life

i wondered

if i was forgotten

i look at the photographs we took that day

remembering the moments

behind the film

 

i remember

 

i rember that day upon your bed

i remember the night i went there

crying inside and frightened

i stood at your door

wanting some comfort

not knowing what was instore

you have changed quite a bit

my lover of hues

but what is this

i've forgotten the ques

i don't know where i'm going anymore

i don't know what i'm looking for

i don't know why i'm here today

but darling

one day

 

i remember

 

when valentines came

i was frustrated and angered

because of the day

 

until i'm of age

it has to be this way

the way that is scilenced

the way that is dreadful

the way that keeps us apart for the day

i wish i could hug you

i wish i could say

i want to see you more

every day

but for now

and for this day

it has to be kept at bay

from one to another i'll see your sweet face

but for a little longer

i'll be locked away

 

but darling

in a few weeks, or in a few days, i could be dead, or different in ways

i could be screaming in merciles pain

i could be fighting

i could be running

who is to say

 

but i remember

you and i

every day

I like your voice in this work. There's a naivety, a maturity, a certainty, and an uncertainty in it, all at the same time.

There's also this feeling as if maybe you're too young for him. Or he's too young for you....??? Maybe not even anything to do with age. Maybe class/circumstance, perhaps?

Either way, I'm intrigued by this piece. It resonates within me somehow. Nice job!
