A safe place, I thought I had found.
Safe from my past's hounds.
A simple sentence, a simple gesture
Simplest of anything from you mister
Would send my heart racing
Tell me to keep chasing.
Oh but your heart resides in Neverland
While mine is stuck in the midst of a quicksand.
'Oh help me Pan!', I wish I could call him.
Not to bring me there but to help me fly
And maybe then I'll be too happy to even cry.
A little pixie dust here and a little there
And I'll be on an adventure far somewhere.
A place my eyes won't tear up
Filled with magic to cheer me up.
Memory charms that would make me forget
All your words that I will probably never get.
The tiniest gestures that make my heart flutter
Would stop bothering and wouldn't even matter.
With aching red eyes and a broken heart
A lost soul of which I bared a part
All I wish is to escape this quagmire.
What did I ever do to deserve this ire?
I wish you all the happiness you deserve
While I too crave to be happy as a free dove.
First crush? Everyone will have one, probably already has one or has had one. Your first ever heartbreak over your first crush? Meh. Not everyone. Well this poem is about the experience of falling for a person deeper than you had intended to. And if that person can't reciprocate those feelings....
*a painfully long hiss*
Things mostly go downhill from there.
That feeling of being stuck while you desperately try to get rid of those unwanted feelings. Feelings you never wanted in the first place because you just wanted to focus on things more important.
Don't forget to hit the star on the left hand corner and do comment and share if you like the poem. Toodles!
