The Outcome Of Fate Poem by Alyssa Marquardt

I know that I’m too young for love.
So what’s this feeling my heart speaks of.
I hate myself for not letting it go.
Strength is something I do not know.
I believe in this crazy thing called fate.
But the outcome I can’t help but hate.

Why do I always ponder?
Why do I always wonder?
About the future we could have had.
What would happen if we were to last?
Life is about present and future,
So why am I stuck in the memorable past?

The distance gave my heart a tug.
But I kept fighting, never gunna give up.
I hate my heart for choosing sides.
Why cant she just stay back and hide?
She’s in a war she cannot win.
She’s in a place she’s never been.
Why I care, I could not say.
My heart manipulates my mind that way.

Late at night I think of you.
And wonder if you think of me too.
Dreaming of the times we shared.
The words you said, the way you cared.
The way it felt to hold your hand.
When the whole world was what I had.
All of these precious times,
Haunt my mind all day and night.

I stare at our old photographs.
And think about your sweet laugh.
Staring at you familiar lips,
Make me crave one more kiss.
The look of your gorgeous eyes.
Fill me with these butterflies.
The face that made my heart pound,
Stares back at me without a sound.

I know that I’m too young for love.
So what’s this feeling my heart speaks of.
I hate myself for not letting it go.
Strength is something I do not know.
I believe in this crazy thing called fate.
But the outcome I can’t help but hate.
