The streetlights fading in the distance,
Our togetherness is leaving town.
I couldn't ask and you wouldn't tell,
My fear of rejection wasn't clear.
Half accidental but purely instrumental,
In my desire to be too proud.
I just sat back and enjoyed the peace,
That being a casualty allowed.
I was so eager for you to know,
A casual touch was just enough.
Memories of you soothe me and,
Your voice only echoes where I go.
I can hurt now and miss you,
Wondering will have to be enough.
The cold shock of loneliness hurts,
Like my right foot finding a tack.
I can't see now but I'm not blind,
It's just some water making blurs.
I'll just have an operation later,
To get these feelings removed.
When they stitch me back up,
Years later, the scar will remind me of you.

I think you might be a homo, dude.

Why?

Oh, yeah because showing any outward emotion is wrong for a male. Just because your father beat you for crying when he reamed your asshole doesn't mean everyone is gay. Just your father. Now hurry up and hit your girlfriend before she thinks you're weak.

someones a little defensive

Looks like I touched a sore spot.....

EMO FAG! oops sorry, i let a lil of tha jock in me get out. i think this was one of tha better poems about love ive seen in this site

I really like how it starts off. The line about togetherness leaving town is genius, and for a bit the way you've written it really captures a moment, especially the bit about the casual touch. I thought it ended a little bit morosely but that's just my personal opinion. It's a good piece.

I see what you're saying....the poem seems like a unisex poem, it could express his feeling for a girl, or a man !

Considering the fact that the entire poem is about me being a cowardly idiot, I'll be sure to remind you that moroseness is abound. So I will take that as a compliment of success.

Well you are a cowardly idiots for sure.
