Two Reasons.A Poem by Rebecca Hope RoustonI don't know what this is, but it's not a poem. It's more of a rambling, venting paragraph cause I cannot seem to take the time now to put this into poetic words.
I'm letting you know now, I am at a loss for words
I will not write well, but I don't really care what you or anyone else thinks No one can judge my writing and see that they've never written anything worse This applies to my choices as well So every breath feels like I'm breathing in ocean water And I can see the fire ahead, but I keep walking I know I don't have a parachute, so I dart faster for the cliffs edge See where this is going? I'm dying No matter what I do, every reason I feel I have to step out Out of the water, out of the fire, away from the cliff I find two reasons why it's perfectly normal for me to stay there I know this may seem utterly foolish I mean, who wants to be suffocated, burned, or crushed to death? That's not the point You'd take anything to see that the one you're in love with is happy Even if that means your own life, correct? That's reason one to stay here Now, the feeling I get when she creases her eyebrows And gets this look of pain and surrender in her eyes You know the face I'm talking about And you know the feeling I'm talking about That would be reason two And that's all the reason I need to stay exactly where I am I will not be the cause for her end I love her too damn much © 2023 Rebecca Hope Rouston |
