Weight off My shoulders.

Weight off My shoulders.

A Poem by Lydia

I heard the phone,

I saw your name,

I didn’t answer.

I’m so scared to lose your love

By things I can’t control,

I’d rather do it myself

And shut off the phone.

Because, well, face it,

There’s a new chapter

And I want your character

To continue on

But girl, I’m scared

I hate taking the mask

Of my insecurities off

When you’re around,

I’m too proud,

You’ve found that out already

And I’m ready to let go

Of everything else in my life but you

I always loved you,

When you handed me that picture,

When we yelled and argued, I admired,

Your strength, your face, your passion,

Though you don’t release it,

Keeping your secrets

You drive me up the wall

I’m stuck sitting on,

Wishing to abandon the excuses

For not answering,

But I’m just scared to say it out,

Though I want to shout:

I love you.

(Was that so hard?)

How would you react?

With an awkward silence

Shared between the two girls

Who contain one mind.

I wish you were mine,

Forget the preference

In the reference books

Of the past I left behind.

I just want to hold you

And run my fingers

Through your hair

And hold you tight,

Every night,

For the wasted year that will

Mean the most in my life.
