The Other Side Of My Face Poem by Blue Angel

Because you couldn’t understand
I questioned myself to settle a stand.
Yes, you were the one for too long,
For a time when I didn’t know that I wasn’t that strong,
To handle “The End”, on behalf of “The Truth”, and vice versa.

I was lost and found, as for my heart you were my everything.
For my mind, without you I was just a shadow of my faith.

Yes, I was lost. My confusion made my soul a wonderer.
I never fought hard to experience what I felt,
but once into the feelings, I fought a fight against myself.

The love I felt for you caught me inexperienced.
It was stronger than anything I ever dreamt of and because of it I dove in,
I dreamt that I could handle it, that we could grow together,
That “we” were worth the risk. I dreamed that you felt the same.

Diving in I trapped myself.
But you’ve given me so many signs that you didn’t love me enough,
That you cared more for things, and many other things, not for my love.

Yes, I gave you the other side of my face.
After all, it was all that I had left.
And yes, you were “the one”,
and for that I was all yours.
And until now I feel vertiginous of you
and your actions: negative and positive.

For the time you were the one, for the love you had inspired,
For the mistakes I made on loving you, and for love for you,
While you were the one, you were my best friend,
You were the man I loved enough to be the only one,
That I trusted my hand.
