What Have You Done?
this is not suppose to rhyme or be anything but final. I put all my poetry in different categories. this is an ending chapter conversation to silence. I like have a punch line type to end a chapter. so they all match and go together. Its inspired a little by events in life at times and other times dramatized...as poetry is. :-*
What have you done?
nonchalantly ruining perfection.
by election of someone who did not care until someone else did.
fool.
what have you done?
not even man enough to tell the truth.
never again.
run under the wings of the demon you believe will hide you from yourself.
when protection is not a cage.
after all we have been to one another.
you let it win?
I could not live with myself if I had done what you did.
the crime is in the handling not the deed.
fool.
you were suppose to grow
instead you regressed
get ready
the whole cycle will start again.
mark my words
wait and see.
I warned you then
and I grieve for you
more than me.
but I won’t be there to help you
not this time.
not now that you turned to a ghost.
if I were there I’d have never let you go to begin with
but help you.
pick you up and never let you fall.
you fool.
feels good now?
soon you’ll have to learn to crawl
all over again.
this time, when it ends?
don’t look for me again.
not after all we have been this time.
you’ve made a mistake.
I won’t wait long.
then I’m gone ill leave you to such a fate.
wish the best for you
but you shouldve listen to me the first time.
call me now.
don’t run away like a child.
when you’re old you’ll wish you would’ve thought twice.
I so grieve for you
when you realize you will wonder what if over and over.
when your old you’ll see of what I spoke.
but I cry every night knowing they may leave you feeling less than
why could you not have been patient?
I chose you over all and forever
a little more was all I needed
I told you I dreamed of this darkness.
do you remember?
I lied when I said I didn’t know of what was coming.
but don’t let them drown who you really are.
we would’ve gone far.
what have you done.
be a man. Not this coward.
tell me.
I know.i know your secret.
I did.
I wish I knew how to tell you I already know.
its ok.
farewell, needlessly confusing one.
or did you lie the whole time.
almost a year.
or was it ten?
the familiar that died once will stagnate again.
I learned the hard way.
I wish you happiness.
you pushed me first
my choice was always you.
