My name is Ashley and I have been writing for....oh....about three weeks. I am super new to this whole "blogging" thing! I have explored a few different writing styles. However, I am sticking to poetry right now, and this is my most recent poem (it's my fourth poem ever written). Feel free to comment!
Hurt…
It hurts to know I am not the one.
The one who brings a
smile to your face,
and who you swear you wanna build a future with.
You will never reach out to hold my hand,
or tell me I am your reason for breathing.
She will be the
one to know the essence of your being.
You will entangle your fingers with hers
and whisper sweet nothings into her ear.
I will remain the same,
Heart aflame, with no one willing to grasp it-
Brave the heat, grasp it between their fingers, and take it
for their own.
Resulting in my ending being the same as it begun,
It hurts to know I am not the one.
I like this poem, i think it depicts a feeling we all experience at least once very well. The feeling that someone else is in the place of where you should be, and it can be excruciatingly painful, though very relieving once past.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you read this to the group. I would suggest you work on this and consider performing it at the February DSU slam. I would be willing to help you with it.
