The ‘It’ After The Want- A collection of poems

Cold Hearted:

“Falling like snow til I freeze and become the ice you slip on” -Austin Porter

I fell as gently as the snow
Only to be crushed under your feet
But just you wait and I can show
The part of me that only few meet
You’ll be slipping
On my hardened ice
I used to keep you gripping
But now, I won’t be so nice.
I’m sorry if I hurt you
But just think of what you did
To make me like this
Something just few can do.
I feared the worst and I hid
Now you just got the last kiss.

The Two Who Never Were:

Brendon Urie: Panic! At The Disco

Did I love you?
I’m not sure.
Would I chose to?
Not after seeing who you were.
I really had no clue.
I used to think you were so pure
I saw you and my heart flew.
Sadly there was just one cure.
Before we’d begun, you said we were through.
You did nothing to lure
There was nothing to do
Now you’re stuck singing Urie
While I can do far better than you.

Yet to be Broken:

Lying low is what I’ve stuck to,
Because I never know what’ll happen
Simply because it’s you.
I don’t want our friendship to be dampened
Because I couldn’t push through
But can it really work, without the effort of two?
Never did I think this would happen
Especially not again
But how can it be ignored
When I care about my friend.
One day you’ll both get bored
Coming to me, wanting my pity
I’ll stare and I’ll glare and say what I’ve stored
And if you’re good people you’ll feel rather silly
But if you don’t change
You’ll come crying to me
And I can’t say I’ll be there
As much as you need
I’ve no more for you to take
So how valuable am I?
Not more than he.
Separated because of one guy.

The Fear of  Being Broken:

Lying low is what I’ve stuck to,
Because I never know what’ll happen
Simply because it’s you.
I don’t want our friendship to be dampened
Because I couldn’t push through
But can it really work, without the effort of two?
Never did I think this would happen
Especially not again
But how can it be ignored
When I care about my best friend.
With you I’m never bored
I enjoy the constant teasing
The comfort of knowing
You’ll always be there.
I hold it so deeply in my heart
That’s why it’s hard for me, to let you hear.
I’ve held you near
but would you do the same?
All I need is us to feel this way
Together.
