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. © 2008 Lydia |
