Default A breakup poem

I Only Have Eyes

I remember our eyes
surrendering to sweet paralysis the first time
our peripheries crossed paths

So passionately
indifferent we've grown for each other
since the last time

our tongues tied
together in silent unison
How alike we are
in this foolish pride that binds us

apart from one another
We no longer
border each other's solitude, rather
we consume ourselves in seperation

But I remember our eyes
lingering to delirium, and though
the image is slowly fading
I still only have eyes
for you

Even though u date someone youre in a relationship with the best thing u learn no matter how the relationship plays out is more about yourself. And i like that the poem ended on a note where your hopeful for the future and happy about the growth that relationship provided.

Some people are around for seasons *shoulder shrug*

This was deep, and well written too...I also felt that bitter sweetness at the end aswell.

apart from one another
We no longer
border each other's solitude, rather
we consume ourselves in seperation

^^That was my favourite part of the poem.

Absolutely. Couldn't agree more...It's all a learning experience.. You just hope for the best.. You live and you learn.

There aren't too many active poets on this site, just a handful of you that have been posting pieces in the last while.

Feel free to drop your material in the Freestyle forum too, it'll get more views in there. http://b-boys.com/freestyle-session-forum/
