Pop Poetry: Puzzle Pieces
November 8, 2019
We were never close
But now you seem so far
Every time I try and understand my eyes get droopy from lack of sleep and suddenly it’s the next morning and we’ve drifted further
We were never close
I made sure of that,
Even though you were close,
You were always so far away
because you’d smile at me, and I’d smile back you’d look down, and I’d have a heart attack
because when you looked up no one had ever smiled at me like that
you used to seem close but now you’ve stepped away
I made sure of that
We were never close
Every time I look at someone they seem to run away
And even though you’re far you’re in my mind and if I continue on like this I’ll tug on the part of me that stayed with you, when you looked down and looked back up.
We barely talk,
I give you space,
You sit with her,
And I’m misplaced because all those time I held your hand are always on my mind.
They didn’t fit together and part of that made me hold on tighter.
I don’t think we fit together,
And I wish my brain knew how to stop holding on.
