December 28 (6: 35) Poem by Brandi Bedolla

December 28
I just couldn’t wait
I had the phone next to me
Wanting it to ring
December 28
I just felt really great
I’ve been happy all day
And you were the one who took that away
The time was 6: 35
And you called me trying so hard to contrive
I really wanted to talk to you
But before I could you told me we were through
December 28
I really freaking hate that date
Because at 6: 35
I wanted just to sit back and cry
Something told me that this wasn’t going to last
Because right now honey it’s 2007
And you are only my past
I have to try to move on
Only because I want to be the one who is strong
It really makes me laugh
Only because I am not whole
I am freaking half!
December 28
Man I just want to hate
But I really can’t
Only because my wish that I had
You really can’t grant
6: 35: 45
That’s when the conversation ended
Then I realized that we were done
It was two then one and now it was none
I thought to myself what did I do so wrong?
In your heart I knew I didn’t belong
December 28
HATE! HATE! HATE!
What is the matter?
My heart broke and all it did was scatter
Please tell me what you don’t understand
Because to me things didn’t go as planned
I opened my heart to you and this is what I get
In return something that you admit
Well in life I hope things go as well as you want
Because I will not be the girl on your side that you will want to flaunt
December 28
I realized I really could wait
Because I didn’t want the phone with me
And I really didn’t want it to ring
It was 6: 35: 45
And all I really could do was cry
