Star Crossed Lovers Poem by Kellyn, A Grau

Curl up my knees and brought to my chest
Heart in my throat and tears flood my eyes
I'll hold my self-tight and kiss me goodnight
So it comes down to this, just a memory
Did the battle lose its fight
Did the love cease to exist
Or was I blind from the start
And kept up the fight for a lost cause
My heart told me to wait
My mind told me to flee
That right from the start you weren't right for me
Yet I took a leap of fait
And let you hold my heart
Yet to have it shattered once more
Star-crossed lovers are what were called
Never meant to feel the light we both desperately want
Yet my heart holds hope but perhaps that's not enough
For the long road that's right in front of us
You could do better runs deep in my mind
I never wanted anything else but you
So why would I even try?
Perhaps love soars on untamed wings
Never being able to be really captured
Or perhaps you're just a masochist
Enjoying every blow you get
Your heart crushed time and time again
Yet here I stand with healing hands
I beckon you to let me heal you
Yet you push me away and deny my heart
Exposed to the truth you can speak
Can you even see clearly
Or perhaps poison has clouded your mind
The one I cherished so much
The one I loved dearly
Now lost all hope of our return
Has my mind deceived me
Or do you lose faith in everything
Have you forgotten the emotions we share
The way we feel when were together
How nothing else matters in the world
Perhaps I reminisce with my self to much
Concentrating on all the good we brought
Perhaps what I had to offer didn't met your acceptation's
Perhaps I didn't fit your criteria
But my heart held other ideas
And aloud you to enter with ease
Perhaps that was my first flaw
By letting you see the real me
Never playing pretend and speaking my mind
Yet where has this gotten me
What has it done? Nothing to help me
I still have not won
So I'll sit in the shadows
Curled up in a ball
And hold on to the hope
That never leaves my mind
Perhaps If I'm lucky and I keep my heart open
There will be a way for us to be
Or maybe I'm just living in a hopeless memory
