Love Poem: Storm 9

Storm 9

It’s not something you’re saying
Even though that’s what I’m blaming
It’s nothing you’re doing
Neither anything you’re undoing
It’s you
I kept digging
Into my heart of stinging
Emotions kept swinging
Springing and clinging from the highest building to the lowest flooring
Like a storm heavily raging
Tears heavenly raining
Cloud 9 was too thick to remain floating
And we couldn’t expect our love to continue bloating

And it all just fell apart between me and you
We were soul mates till out souls hit the straits
I’m angry at what we did, happy it’s over, but depressed
Because no matter how hard I try
Even after you end up with another guy
There’s still a part of you with me
A loving attribute, a missing absolute
And even if I find another half to complete my whole
There’s a constant place for you in my soul
A constant state of us combined
Though disconnected and acting disaffected
My heart yearns even after you have long forgotten me
And while you may feel similar
And the thought of getting back together feels familiar
I know that it will all simply crash and fall
It’s rational to start apart
Irrational to become one flesh
I know this is for the best.

And while our hearts continue clinging
And our love attempts to continue lingering
Like all things, it is now ending
No more of my dreams will you be attending
No moments we will be sharing
Just an awkward second here and there
Small talk, large thoughts
As our minds remain clouded
Clouded with Storm 9
