Boys Wear Blue

Unrequited

 

 

Boys Wear Blue

i knew

i've always had

his eyes

never searched for

anything

in mine

yet every night

we laid

side by side in

his room

i gave myself 

just

to feel our legs

intertwine;

they never did

i took all the chances

sneaking out my

window

sometimes he'd be

around the corner

mostly he waited at

home

one time a guy

approached me on my

dark trek

i ran until i arrived

at his door

his fingers never traced

my tears

i shed more throughout that

night

my friends come to me for

advice

i support all that they

want and deserve

i encourage

others in my situation

to find someone who loves

them for who they are

if they only knew

my torment 

how much my heart aches

i see him with his friends-

they torture me daily

at school

so macho the football team

one from the group scorches

my soul whenever we kiss in the

locker room...

i am so in love

Blue happens to be my favorite color, so of course I had to stop and read this poem. This did remind me of those innocent crushes of years ago, that wishing for some magic to spark and happen as the desire built inside without relief. The feeling of being around someone all the time and still wanting to be even closer to them. Very nice write...

there is a key observation pervasive in this work, which dances colloquial, but implies movements without having to make them.

Ah, love hurts so good. I remember the pains of such longing. Well done!
