Trust him

Her point of veiw

Her point of view

 

A month into school

I have memorized

His schedule and mine

The texting goes on

For hours

I miss him

Talking on the phone

Hasn’t happened all that often

We make sure

That we talk at least

Once a week

It’s a good chance

To tell each other

Something we didn’t want

To say over texting

Now days…

 He finally says

How happy he is for

Fall break to come

I am catching s ride

From one of our mutual friend

I am stricken with sadness

When he says

I have to wait another day

To drive home

Meaning when I get home

I have to be alone

In the big house

Where his relatives

Let me stay

I have been home

There once…

In the last month

Let just say

Things were awkward

I wasn’t happy

Since it was the first time

For us to meet

That is when his team

Wanted to haze the newbie’s

I was already in the house

When he called me

To let me know

It was one of the first times

I let my emotions

Get a hold of me

My roommate loves me

 From the moment

I walked into

The dorm rooms

She has loved me

She always says

That this boy

Needs to come by for further

Approval…

He has been on speaker phone

With the two of us

Or when I am tears

And don’t want him to know

(He tends to freak out)

One time he wanted to drive

All the way down

To make sure

I was okay

In that time

I called in enforcements

Now as he on the phone

I make him promise

Pinky promise

That he wasn’t

Going to stand me up

The next words

Out of his mouth

Are the fatal

Trust me

Never should a girl

Listen to a man say ‘trust me’

In my mind

I can see his smirk

Evident on his face

“That doesn’t sound like a good plan to me”

I say
He laughs

Then promises

That he will be there

“I wish I could hold you

Trust me on that”

And Trust him I do

A very good poem. Feels like a story. I like the communication and planning of this relationship. I like the feel and emotion of caring and love. Truth is very important. Can't truth someone. What do you have? I like the ending. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

Good poem!

I watch my daughters go through this here and there~ and I don't envy them either~ emotions run raw in young love~ and that phrase "trust me" is sometimes intangible~ good story telling ~ engaged my attention from beginning to end~
