dear someone


dear someone

dear to me please

tell me

what is it like on the other side

of the world

restless feet traveling

the well worn path of regret.

 

dear someone

why is it that

once you go forward

you always look back towards

a sea of faces staring daggers 

at the one that got away

gray eyes glowering 

flashing back.

 

dear someone one

day i will meet

you in all your glory

a boy that has never danced with angels

nor sung with the devil

just wandering wandering in dreamland

but not coming back to me.

 

dear someone

i never did tell you

how each day in

elementary school

i tried to 

work up the nerve to talk to you

while you

talked to other girls

prettier 

funnier

cooler

than me.

 

or how i tried to forget you after middle school halfway around the world.

or how the sight

of her clinging to you

makes me want to throw up.

 

dear someone 

like you

likes you

named me.
