When you both started that conversation,
The one that would end 2 years of your life,
You couldn't have known what was coming;
But you took it like a pro. Bye bye, wife.
Slow, rational, mourning followed by action,
You stood strong and fearless to show your integrity.
What you couldn't see on the other side of that phone,
Her eyes shone a red, white, and blue so pretty;
And she was looking anywhere but at you boy.
She quit you like school, never going back.
Can't you let her go; chop chop her out?
Of course not, your eyes sparkled like that diamond.
Even though history fills you with doubt,
Suffer righteously, leave her alone, and move on.
Her star spangled banner will rip and fade.
Though it seemed; it was not meant to be.
Consider yourself eternally saved
From the girl who wanted freedom more than you.

Don't Talk To Me
"I'm sorry," I said, and meant it.
She nodded, her expression unfathomable. "Me too."
There was a long pause.
"Just two days ago," I said quietly, avoiding her eyes, "we couldn't even be in the same room without going for each other's throats."
She turned away. "Yeah," she admitted. "But look at us now."
I continued, "And just two months ago we were the best of friends. But look at us now." This time I looked directly at her, smiling mirthlessly.
"But look at us now," she

How To Ask Someone To Let You Love Them
I think you keep secrets under your skin
like trees keep rings and do not know it,
like the sea teems,
like dark and quiet space
keeps every ray of light
the stars whispered to one another
when they were still young
and dying to make love.
I think you keep secrets in you
like the desert keeps sands,
like sleep keeps dreams,
like cities keep sleepless people
and people looking for sleepless people
to fall asleep with.
I think you keep secrets
like secrets like to be kept,
and I want to learn them all.

I wrote this poem for the prompt contest over at
This poem is to/about one of my dear friends who just broke up with his fiancé. My heart breaks for him, but there's nothing I can do. He really doesn't want to talk to me about it, nor does he seem to want to talk to me at all really. So since I don't know what to do, the best I can really do is break the situation down objectively.

Oh wow, that was amazing. This poem really knocked me off my feet! I was thinking of how this should be a DD, but I see I don't need to suggest it! Ha!
Poetry is definitely my weakest point (both writing and interpreting), so to see someone write a wonderful work like this... well, let's say there's a lot for me to learn.
p.s. Hope things turned out alright with your friend.
