Closing the Doors

Confusion, annoyance, the thought of not knowing what fate has in store,
The waiting, the rejections, the thought of never finding out.
Knowing the answer I cautiously stay away, fearing the response you give.
People call it a sixth sense, but I know better.
It’s a curse, the feeling of inevitability.
Finally, I feel I have found my courage, though it’s taken long enough.
I walk slowly in your direction, carefully planning out the conversation I need to have.
As I greet you, I feel the words already to leave your lips.
That’s it, I can’t go on. I already know what you would say.
I pretend like you’re in the way, that my class is in the building behind you.
I quickly end our conversation before it begins. Why should I wait to hear it?
As I enter the building I look back at you, and I can see it’s the truth.
You knew what I was going to do, and you are grateful I lost my nerve.
We both knew the answer.
I call out “see you around” as if I mean it.
Of course I will see you, how could I miss an angel like you.
But of course that isn’t what I mean.
We already hit this wall once, never again I tell myself.
“Stay friends” I tell myself, but it’s too hard.
Seeing you digs the dagger farther into my heart.
So I guess no words could fill the barrier between us.
I think to myself “So this is how a good-bye feels?”
And as the door shuts in front of me, I turn away from you and walk into the empty halls.
“See you around?” I think to myself, yea right.
I’ll stay away, just because it’s easier.

Author notes

option 11...

i feel this is my greatest work because it explains the struggle i had through the beginning of my love life.. a friend, who made it obvious there was nothing there, but who i still fell for and it hurt tremendously when she found someoone else.


*Dedicated to my inspiration, the angel that guides my way. To be in a world without you is not a world in which I would choose to live. To watch you from a distance is my dream, anything else just becomes a nightmare.

    I hate this format where the lines just run on and on... It slike a story to me and I like poetry to much for it to be done in a story form

    This is a heartfelt piece but I think the lines should've been broken up more! It would have nicer presentation and also add more drama (you'd be surprised). Fine piece though. Thank you for entering and I hope you're having better luck in your love life now.
