my ramblings [poetry]

heartbreaker

it's the place where he found himself.

it was the place where he could

look out the small window and

see the yellow flowers grow in front of him.

it felt like some kind of little miracle,

to have this all to himself, but

he should've known it was too good to be true

because she walked into his life

and she never walked out.

he didn't know when she moved in next door,

but he thanks every decision that led to that moment.

he saw her through the window everyday.

she would come over and he would make green tea.

he would tell his stories and she would listen.

it felt like that, for once in his life,

everything was going better than before.

he felt like he had a brand new start

and it was all because of her.

he can still remember the look on her face

when he told her everything

she needed to know about him.

she ran out of there and he watched her leave

as he calmly stood at the window with his cup of tea.

maybe it was confusion or maybe it was fear -

he couldn't tell, but she came back to him,

and for that, he's forever grateful.

but then, things started to change,

and the girl that he fell in love with that summer

wouldn't look him in the eye.

it hurt more than anything he would ever feel.

he didn't know that she could make her

feel that way in the first place,

but I guess they were both full of surprises.

his were just a bit more intense,

but he told her everything there was to know.

he's ripped the heart out of every girl he ever loved

and she was no exception.
