"My Last Poem for You" [Spoken Word Poertry]

Written for a certain someboby, this poem is broken down into 5 parts.. Think of them more as stages or phases we tend to go through in relationships.. how everything starts off new and almost perfect.. and then feelings change as time goes on..

and I messed up a few times, but I didn't want to take another video.. so forgive me:/ enjoy..


Part 1


It was... something about her smile
The way the creases in her cheeks reminded me
That God must have been somewhere smiling at us from a distace
Her eyes
Were once lit like the midnight sky during an evening of fireworks
Something similar to a painted canvas
A splash of beauty being portrayed in the
Mixed shades of black and brown found dwelling in her irises
that somehow captured a tiny glimpse of heaven
behind the backs of her eyelids
It was the way her first name
looked so good next to my last
And the way time seemed to pass...
As if nobody else noticed the sun rise when she laughed
Her touch...
Her touch was a double-edged blade that could
That could piercedeep enough through flesh until bones started shattering
Until rib cage and knees caps began collapsing
And the thought of falling in love
Sounded too cliché to confess at the moment
But I remember the first time I've ever felt the earth stand
Completely still
It happened the day she first told me that she loved me




Part 2

We walked on the edges of our regrets
Flirted with temptation
[I thought you were better than that]
we
Stared at one another like we were looking into a reflection
of all the things we've learned to hate about ourselves
like...
we couldn't stand looking at what was in front of us
for another second longer
Still young then,
And ignorant,
We told the sun to mind its own business
We thought we could travel through the darkness with just a pinky promise
And a couple of crossed fingers
Our shadows
Became te only ones willing to carry the bones buried in our closets
Our secrets
Were never really secrets...
More like a handful of lies disguised as first impressions
Pressed to the parts of our hearts that have
Learned to sympathize with our imperfections
We
purposely forgot about ur flaws thinking that they would NEVER catch up to us...
Just because we thought we were happy
didn't mean we were...
Just because I thought she was in love
Didn't mean she was
The first time she told me
That she didn't love me that way
I swear I could feel the earth growing cold,
Both naked and exposed like the truth we found changing
in our dressing room of a conversation
and that must have been the second time
that I've felt the earth stand
Completely still




Part 3

Apparently forever became too long for her
She was in it for the moments of "right now"
For the "tomorrow morning"s
Never fully satisfied
I guess the same routine gets boring
She said
I'm not telling people the whole story,
But baby girl,
What exactly have I been leaving out?
When it comes down to it...
it wasn't about something that I said or did
But it was...
whatever it was...
that I wasn't doing
which jusitified why she felt the need to leave
Never really knowing who
Or
What she was yet
She set distance betwen us so she could have a little more time to find herself
And, well, that was as far as she cared to carry this story




Part 4

Thinking of her
Reminds e of what happiness feels like at 3 o clock in the morning
When only silence remains
and the earth is all worn out from throwing its tantrums
And somewhere in between that split second
I am able to forget her long enough to fall asleep
I am only two-thirds sorry that she hates me
And the rest of me...
The rest of me knows more about the truth
than what my heart is willing to believe
Still, I keep thinking maybe I should have tried harder
Maybe
There was something else I could have done
Then again,
When did relationships ever become that complicated




Part 5

What's a love story without its happy ending, right?
I guess now we don't get to call it that anymore
I guess now we get to call it
the ending
of something that could have been great
we call it
the beginning of something even greater
we call it--life doing the both of us a favor
another lesson learned
perhaps another mistake
potential energy we turned to waste
and it was something
about her smile
it was something
about the way the stars aligned in late August that year
How the universe sent us a message that said our love belonged burning outside of Earth's atmosphere...
They never mentioned time would send us crashing
And I wish someone would have warned me
that every day that she's gone would be like this...
every day is new reminder of an old memory
and now everything's been left
...motionless
