That Someone

by Lousy Eyes   Jun 29, 2008


How long will I keep this up?
That someone isn't here.
What more do I have to say about them?
Those feelings just disappeared.

There wasn't a chance we could be together.
So why did I feel one slip through my fingers?
I'm sure that someone never thought much about me.
Why did I dwell on those impossibilities?

Was it just their looks?
I never really understood.

Somehow...
I won't doubt I'm that shallow.
Just like...
I won't doubt I loved that someone.

Small smiles appeared when that someone came to mind.
Insanity ensued in its depths.
Something ensued in in the depths of my heart.
I beat myself up and tore me apart.

It's clear that someone doesn't remember.
It would make sense.
That someone forgot me.
That someone should have what I can't.

That peace without those memories.
Those words never to be thought of.
That face forgotten forever.
A forever unbothered heart.

It's however my choice.
I refuse to let myself forget that someone.
Although I am quite fine.
I am quite fine with letting go.

Letting go of that someone I never met.
Letting go of that someone I could trust.
Letting go of that someone who could've known it all.
Letting go of that someone I love.

...

I take back some of that past tense.
It's clear I still love that someone.
It just doesn't make sense.

    I can entirely and completely relate to this poem. It's decently written and portrays your emotions very well; the fact that it reminds me of myself strengthens that emotion. I love how the very last stanza of the poem is only three lines long and rhyming, making it stand out and stick in the reader's mind. The rest of the poem is filled with rhymes (both true and false rhymes) that are scattered and are in no set place/pattern, but it doesn't hinder the reading of the poem at all. It actually has a surprisingly smooth flow. The lines "Somehow...
    I won't doubt I'm that shallow.
    Just like...
    I won't doubt I loved that someone" don't flow as well, but they aren't bad and they make the reader pause for a second and think about the meanings behind the words.

    Great write. Thanks for the read.
