The Special Two

by dollwithafrown   Dec 11, 2009


Your hands still feel the same,
Like the first time I met you:
Cold and small and delicate;
Little boy in a big man's shoes.
Even in the summertime,
When the sun would burn your back;
I'd tease that you had dead hands;
You'd moan: "Cut me some slack!"

--

Oh I wonder now if you wondered then,
How life would change once the clock struck ten,
And after darkness you never looked back;
Bare on the concrete; a painting of blue and black.

Telling me it was "hate crime", I wonder how that could be;
I'd never met a single soul who could hate the man I see.
Were they jealous of your smile? The one that called my name.
They were only jealous as you were not the same.

They said you were a "faggot";
Said you shouldn't be allowed to live.
I'm trying to understand, but all I see
Is the kind of love they could never give.

--

Your hands still feel the same,
But now they're painted black and blue.
I'm really trying to understand,
But this is proving too hard to do.
I kiss you on your forehead,
Wave goodbye one last time to you,
Knowing I'll never get this love back,
'Cause we were the special two.

    Its amazing.you are talented :) i liked how you explained the feelings,sadly i feel nearly the same now,and everyone tells me i will forget him but i found it is so hard to do...and your poem in a perfect way tells about it..my favorite stanza was

    They said you were a "faggot";
    Said you shouldn't be allowed to live.
    I'm trying to understand, but all I see
    Is the kind of love they could never give.

    And also I know the feeling when you think that you will never find anyone to love more than him..
    anyway be strong :) if you are writing from your experience :)
    5/5

    This is so amazing, so powerful. It flowed really well and the simple rhyming scheme worked very well. I love how you connected the beginning of the poem to the ending with the whole hands thing. and the last line of "cause we were the special two" finished it of perfectly. this is great, loved it! well done :)

    5/5 for sure :)
