I told myself I wouldn’t waste
another single word on you
(Because usually when I declare something
[plain and simple]
the universe likes to prove me wrong.)
but I feel there was a lack of closure between us.
And so here I go with a handful more words
that could be used on something better
but which instead are going to be employed
in saying [one more time]
how I’m Really
Truly
Definitely
Over You
this time.
Yes, I still like you,
but I realize now:
[I always will.]
And, also, that just having feelings for someone
means nothing, really.
I get what he meant now;
Words are just words, actions are what matter.
And so now,
now that I’m finally positive this won’t do me any harm,
I am free to waste as many words on you as I feel like wasting;
because words are just words, actions are what matter.
And now that I’m positive that no actions are ever going to spawn from this,
since you made it so blatantly obvious you had no intention of nurturing them,
I can finally, truly say
That I am over you.
That I can finally be
Sure
That I am finally, truly over you.
And the best part is:
[It didn't hurt.]
I was always under the impression that losses of innocence were some
heart-shattering, mind-breaking, breath-liquifying pain.
But the truth is:
[They are not.]
You told me:
[“I like you.”]
I thought before it had been a lie
-Because how could you like someone and not want to go out with them?-
But now I realize it is very, very possible,
Because neither words nor emotions matter:
[Only actions do.]
And you are obviously incapable or unwilling of cultivating those.
No, I will not again waste one single word on you.
This time it’s three:
[[I’m over you.]]
Author notes
e_e wow, I haven't written anything on THIS particular person in a while. This was the person my "romantic status" has been mentioning for the past... two-ish months? Alsmot three, actually. Ahahha. And all this time we've apparently been "...o-o so what now?" "...idk..." Ha. Haha. Even if YOU may not know, I think *I* realized it. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And I'm perfectly okay with that. With the form and the brackets I tried to clue my audience in on a correlation between subjects and poems, and also I was hinting about the title, lol. Obviously this poem was more than three words, but everything important came in packets of three words, so I figured that should be the title. Also, I was trying a little irony, since usually "those three little words" are "I love you," and these three words were obviously far from that. :3 Yay.
This is officially the longest time I have gone without liking ANYONE, AT ALL, in like... years. Probably- no, not probably. DEFINITELY- since eighth grade. Since I've liked this person since then. D: wow. Long time, and it's surprisingly... mmmneh, I dunno the word. But I have really good focus recently D:
Anyways, comment about the poem, or the situation, or whatever, just please comment.

How did the form work?

'Tis better to have loved and lost...
No I'm totally kidding XD. I don't even need to ask; I already know. And in a way I'm happy for you because I know you must be thinking to yourself, "FINALLY!" and you must obviously be content...otherwise this poem would not have spawned itself from your mind (ooooh...science fiction-y...)
The format with the free verse and the parentheses and brackets actually reminded me of "Numb." Which is...eerily ironic, considering the subject of both. I like it went you write the raw, "I'm-gonna-put-it-out-there-precisely-as-it-is" stuff you do...Because you do it with pizazz. (That's my word of the day). Seriously, though, you are what would be considered a "fluent" communicator. You make your point very, very clear. And it seems to take no effort to do so. Ever. I'm still impressed by (and un poco jealous of) that.
(Random comment unrelated to poem-expect a message from me on here. A lenghthy one.)

o.o Darn.
I meant to tell you that the use of brackets was actually TRYING to remind you of numb, lol, to try and link the two poems. And btw, love the word "Pizazz" -

It's okay, Kelsez. I'm glad I was right. And my word of the day today was SUPERFLUOUS. Gotta love that AP English!!!

-totally missed this comment before-
Lol I kind of wish this poem were still true, because I was over him, and it was easier that way. I think this sentiment lasted perhaps a full 24-hrs after I wrote this. I know, FML right? It would be so easy to move on (theoretically.) if I could just move on, easier for him too I'm sure. It's just proving to be very difficult since he keeps unconsciously pulling me back in. Gosh. Gosh. This is messed up :/
And thanks for the compliments xD. I think I intended to "put-it-out-there-precisely-as-it-is" for this one- because metaphors wouldn't have worked well for this one. I needed what I was saying to be blatantly obvious. And I guess it was. :3 Yay.
Anyways, ttyl. Thanks for the comment.
