Two Upside Down Teardrops Poem by LaTisha Parkinson

And when they fall don’t be alarmed;
Worry not, who it was that caused me such harm.

For I am a warrior, I’ll be okay,
Ignore the tears just listen to what I say.

I only hurt because it’s love;
It’s only love because it’s you;
I only cry because it’s true.

You come, you go, you do as you please;
You touch, you hug, you kiss you tease.

Poof! You appear, it’s just like magic;
Poof! You disappear, oh so tragic.

I miss you for hours and I miss you for days;
There’s no one thing I miss most, I love all your ways.

It’s just a game and you’re just a player;
But kill me dead there was more to you than just that layer.

I’m not your plaything and it’s not a toy;
I like you quite a lot but watch yourself boy.

Cause if you break my heart again,
I’ll stab you with this imaginary pen.

No, I’m sorry, just a fit of rage;
I’ll continue to write your name on every page.

I’ll love you when you’re here and cry when you’re gone;
I just feel like, in your arms; I belong.
