Everything but Summer and Spring

A quarter to 3

And I’m still awake. 

I’m sure 

I’ll be up by 8;

Staring into space,

Staring at the photographs 

That I had to beg you

To take. 

Your smiles were fake

But

Somehow, 

I was so convinced

That our love

Was too real to break. 

I break down

On the 26th of every month. 

I celebrated twelve times a year

Because I just knew

You were the one. 

Too many signs 

Went unnoticed. 

Third time

Would have been the charm

But,

I was hopeless;

Hopelessly in love,

Hopelessly invested in us.

And not once

Did you hesitate 

To put your power to use. 

You rubbed glitter across my noose 

And acted as if 

I should have been 

So mesmerized 

By the effort you made

That I wouldn’t notice

My breath being taken away. 

I hung silently

From the giant tree

That I of course 

Planted for a very different reason;

My consequence 

For taking root

In the wrong season.

Wow Poet! A Very Vivid Picture of What Heartbreak Looks Like in a Man. I Like the Cadence and Wording in this Poem. The Rhythm Told the Reader that This Came from a Real Place! Kudos Poet... Great Write!
