Different

Different

A Poem by John Byrd

Here I lie 

in your old room.

Building things

Where things were broken down.

Me

To be exact.

But let's not go into that.

You reappear 

Time from time 

In my mind.

 

It's been so long

Yet

your memory

is the strongest.

I don't know

What it is but

Only you

possess the power.

 

Some girls would die

For my attention.

But 

You

Don't

even notice it.

I have so many options.

I wish

You

Were the only one.

 

To them

I'm nothing but a heart break.

I really do try.

They

bore me.

They

Adore me

I

Adore you.

 

I don't think we could ever be together.

We are too different.

But

That's what I love the most.

Thank you for you reading it and your review! :)
It's sweet and heart-breaking at the same time. I like it. I like the way you use brevity. People should do more of that. Saying something concisely, is a lost art. Keep writing!
