you're my weakness

you're my weakness

if i could have one thing…
                                                           (ANYTHING)
…in the world

it would be your Love.

                             because when you wrapped your arms around me,
                             i was Safe…
                                                 when you smiled at me,
                                                 i felt Beautiful…
                                                                     and when you kissed me,
                                                                     i came Alive…

i would do anything
to feel that Way again.
                                                           (even if it was only for a Second.)

instead,
                             i’m left wondering
                             if i ever cross your Mind.

(probably not.)

your eyes Refuse to meet mine.
                                                           (at one time you couldn’t take your eyes off me.)
talking is awkward
                                                           (we used to talk about Nothing for days.)
and i watch you laugh at Her jokes.
                                                           (i never had to tell jokes to make you laugh.)

emptiness
is all i know now.

i want to blame You for making me feel this way.
                                                 but i can’t.

it’s my Fault…
                                                                     (my fault i trusted you.)
                                                                     (my fault i loved you.)

…my fault i’m not strong enough to move on

and despite the fact that you no longer Love me,
(i’m just a girl you once knew.)

sometimes…
                                       …when i look at you…
                                                                                                    …i forget to breathe.

Note: Thanks so much to destinydances ~ mail 200% full for the awardicon! This poem has been largely misunderstood as it is written in an unusual, more experimental form. However, before you R&R, please try to keep an open mind and realize that all the indents, the incorrect capitalizations, the parentheses, and the italicized words were intended to place emphasis on important parts of the poem. Poetry is not just about the words you use, but the way in which they are arranged.
