Her Poem by June Gray

Her

so pretty.

so kind.

will never, ever truly be mine.

they're like a shooting star.
you see it once and it's love.

gone before you can kiss the pretty dove.

eyes like sea,
lips on mine like a plea.

birch hair woven with summer air,
colors everywhere.

mind strange and hopelessly stuck in mine,
i don't know how to keep them here

And why do you bother to stay the night
When you'll leave in the morning

Why do you bother
To kiss me today
If you'll only break me tomorrow

Why do you push and pull
Never giving enough
So i crave you and your love

Is it all careful manipulation
To feel a little exhilaration

Trust me, I've been there
But never with the illusion that I actually care

So what will it be
Will you love me or leave me today
Hug me or hate me
Which will it be?

I want to say that you wouldn't do this
And give you another chance
I've lost count of how many chances you've had, by the way
But i know that there's something up
And it's not me who's never giving enough

I would give you the world
If only you'd let me in yours

Why am i never enough for you
I just don't understand
You're in the wrong here
And I can't tell if you care.

I'm not asking to break up
Just give me some answers.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
about my ex-girlfriend- but a poem I love regardless, because it feels like such a good poem to me. You know that feeling? When you've written something, and it's not entirely true now, but you captured that specific feeling so well that you still love the poem itself?
