Poetry on Heart Break 2

Appreciation of Beauty
Appreciation of beauty,
Your beauty.
It happens when you turn in the moonlight,
In the lamplight,
And the light-
It hits your face and brightens it up to be like that of an Angel's.
You take my breath away-
Like sad love songs that drip out of speakers
Like water from faucets and rain from grey clouds,
The songs that make me cry when I think of you,
And your beauty-
It's shattered.
But it's oh so perfect.
A small guitar chord,
A little bit of light-
That's all it takes for me to think of you.
The simple things are there
And I still love you.
I can't help it
Especially on misty nights
When the lamplight hits my face
And I don't see you.

Amiss
The rain falls outside in a constant rhythm
Quiet and crystalline.
Inside
It's warm and dry
But dark.
All the lights turned off
With shadows casted
And me alone on the floral print couch
Sweater and flannel pants donned
Not really gay apparel
But then again it's not Christmas.
A mug of cold cocoa and a forgotten book are nearby
And things are always amiss at my house now
I look out the window at the grey sky
And let out a pained breath
So much for teenage poetry
So much for written words
So much for expectations
Memories come back to me from far away
Laughter and jests
Sweet memories that I saved at the time like foil-wrapped chocolates from a heart-shaped box
But saved chocolate in your pocket always melts
And makes a mess
And it's always so difficult to wash away.
So maybe tears will help,
I don't know.
It's raining outside, and I feel like crying.

Amiss- Part 2
An hour it's been raining
And I'm still alone on the couch
House still dark and hot chocolate still cold
But it doesn't matter.
Days like this remind me of that time we were at the park
And a thunderstorm came
Everyone else left and we were alone in the rain
We slid on the grass, staining our jeans
Laughing and carrying on even though you had work tomorrow and I still had errands to run
At one point, as you slid to a stop beside me
Your smile was wide and white in the grey of the rain
And drops of water ran down your nose
I will never forget how
At that moment
You turned to me and your gaze become tender
I lived for moments like that
And looking out at the rain today
My heart breaks as I think of how you're gone and moments like that can't be lived for anymore
Shakily, I grab the hot chocolate and drink
The taste of tears makes it bitter
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guilty Soul
Pyramus and Thisbe
Whispered love songs through a crack in the wall
I just hope I'm lucky like them
And get what I deserve in the end
One of two loves is lost tonight
And, boy, do I sure hope it's me
Because out of the two of us
You are the most worthy for a long and fulfilled life
Mulberry trees
White as snow
Serve as meeting places for doomed lovers to go
So I'll steal away in the middle of the night
Pyramus
Won't you come meet me?
I want to see you one last time before I die.
I want to be your Thisbe.

Witty
Witty with the ability to think on your feet
Well, you must be pretty damn pleased with yourself
Sorry I don't have cartridges of lines stored up my sleeves
If I did, I would have fired them all by now anyway
Persistantly brilliant
I just hope this conversation's got enough stimulant
To keep you awake
While I try to think of something funny to say
Like really bad movies
And overrated TV shows
I laugh nervously and stick both my hands in my pockets
A little awkward and a little weird
Give me a sign when you're ready to go
We'll head down to the river
Have a smoke and keep it quiet
Cause you may be wittier
But I'm the one in love
