Genuine (A Continuation of At First Glance)

Genuine (A Continuation of At First Glance)

A Poem by Yurie Lee
"

I recently experienced something like this, and now that I am calm, I decided to write it out, but with fancy words and such. I think you will get the idea when you read it. Enjoy~ :D

"

Years have past since that day

And I still see you as I had then

But with golden threads and porcelain conviction

That twirls me into a wondrous dance


My adolescent blue eyes blossomed

For you, as with my young heart

Finally entering a similar stage,

Perhaps genuineness is approaching


And it has! The spring night of the eighth

A sense of fulfillment felt so near

My frail heart swelled with such warmth

I've waited so, so long!


And...anguish

Genuineness came oddly sudden

No, no, no I should be happy

Really, everything was so wonderful


Forsake my heart, distressed and sorrowed

No matter how genuine it seems"

I knew that it did not exist, even on that day

Yet my youthful nature believed it purely


All the blue drained from my eyes

It came just as suddenly as the night before

There was nowhere to hide

Genuineness surrounded me from all over


It was an odd form of heartache, but not any different

However, I still see you with your golden thread

As well as your porcelain conviction

With my adult grey eyes
