What A Shame For Me

By Desdemona

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Splinters of glass pierce my heartas my breathing gets heavyand tension rages through my veinssince I found out your dating againthe one man I have secretly lovedThe one man I have put on holdfor many many yearsnow lost to a 19 yr old.how could this beI kissed you with foreverI touched you like no tomorrowand I loved you today YesterdayandforeverMy heart crushed like a orangespit out the seedsFor I am one of themletting go of you is so liquifiedI can't drink a drop of anyone elsetill I get one real taste of your nectarBut looks like I will be flying with the rest of the beesYou won't pollinate my flower will you?What is wrong with my leaves?What is wrong with my stem?I guess I am not like her am I?But I probably will hold on to you for a million more yearsWhat A shame For me I guess!
