Wishful thinking...

by Matthew Schut   Nov 29, 2011


I sit here anticipating a text,
holding my phone in my hand,
wishing that you will message me,
telling me that you miss your man.

You have filled my heart with hope,
with every text that you send,
I begin to think that we can make it,
knowing that our hearts can mend.

It has been over a year since goodbye
but you have suddenly appeared again,
sending me simple little text messages,
missing me as your best friend.

My heart gets excited with every message,
I begin thinking that we can make it right,
smiling as I complete my text to you,
wishing to hold you once again tonight.

Although I still love you with all of my heart
and you are someone that I will never forget;
I know that you are just going through a phase
and I'm once again being played as your puppet.

    I really like the modern-ness of this poem, how you brought in the text messaging instead of saying something more traditional like letters. But I guess that's because this really did happen to you.. so you used text messages, because she really did text you. I just think it makes it a little less cliche than some poems that are over exaggerated with over-used ideas.

    Anywaysss.

    I thought the flow and rhyming were both great, except for some reason the very last line didn't rhyme as great for me. ...Hmm. But when I read it again, it sounds fine. So it's probably just me. Haha.

    I also think this poem is easy to relate with. I always comment on how easy poems relate with people, because I think it's important for the reader to be able to get the same emotions you had when you were writing it. It makes it where the reader connects with the poem and with the poet also.

    Sooo. Overall, great poem! :]

    Keep up the great writing!
