A poem I wrote

We were both lost, two babes in the woods,
Happened on each other one day.
Laid amongst the fallen leaves and fallen dreams,
With not a word to say.

The sun left us that day,
When you said you'd had enough.
Unaware that we'd still be here today,
Encased in stone.
Still here trapped in the woods.

Reaching for the sun
You attached yourself to me,
Wrapped yourself around me,
Grew up upon me,
So that you could simply touch her.
Her that you loved
And always will.

Her who you carved a gutter in your arm for,
Because of her hatred
For you.
How stupid I felt,
With your name etched into my arm
Because of my love
For you.

It was then I knew,
You would never cut yourself over me.
Shed blood nor tears for me
Or even breathe a sigh for me.

How?
How could you let her enter
Our woods?
Trample on our promises,
Cut through the bloodstained rose bushes
Our misplaced love had built.

The poison ivy could not pain her,
The thorns scratch her,
No defence imperfect her stainless steel skin.

I told myself that you only wanted what you couldn't have,
But i realise now,
That i was watching my reflection in the muddy waters.
Every ripple resemblant to me,
That was why I understood enough,
To let you get away with still loving her.

You told her, when she'd let you drift away,
That one day
She would be a beautiful star,
in someone else's sky.

What about me?
I stupidly loved you,
And foolishly always will.
