I Wish You Knew Poem by Joseph Sakyiamah

I was shaking as you left in the wind.
I am still shaking, but I am finally free.
‎Like leaves, I left your tree.
‎
‎I was the mirror you always looked down on.
‎So I left you standing without seeing your reflection through me again.
‎
‎Again, I heal my heart on a mountain high,
‎So I won't be broken by you again.
‎Even if you wish now to toss me again,
‎You are not getting or gaining me.
‎
‎Even though I told you not to let go,
‎Now I am accepted by the wind.
‎Now I pray for you.
‎
‎For you to know that sand is not to be poured into the sea,
‎Now your teeth glitch without being able to smile.
‎
‎
‎
