Coward

Poem about breakups.

Coward

 

 

 

I stare at the empty driveway.

Waiting for you to come,

walking in.

 

I know you won't come,

and I won't go looking for you,

because I am a coward.

 

Sitting, waiting, watching

emptiness

still the coward.

 

Too scared to see heartbreak.

Too hopeless of moving on,

you would call me a coward.

 

The words sting like cuts.

The words are cuts.

Too afraid to clean the wounds.

Still the coward.

 

"Just a heartbreak," they say.

But it's much more than that.

It's life ending, nerve-wracking,

unable to end.

 

One day the heartbreak

I will move on.

Still a coward, but moving on.

Author's Note

The poem was originally called sissy, but I thought that was too imature for this poem so I changed it. So if it any where says sissy please ignore it and pretend it is coward.

Well I felt the anguish 'sissy' or not. Not bad at all.

Hey this is really sad but in a beautiful way.
I can kind of feel a sense of confusion and unease, which is good because I think it adds to the mood of the poem. Gooooood job. :]
