I have to write about you


You wonder why I write so much about you

when you definitely were never the most important

person in your life; you are wrong.

You were the most important person in my life

albeit for a brief time, but

brevity doesn't matter, it

never matters in issues of the heart.

You wonder why I write so much about you

and I don't write about the others, the ones

that meant more to me in their time. You see,

it's because their time is long gone, and yours

only just finished, in fact it still goes on,

it still hurts, and the blood is fresh.

You wonder why I write so much about you.

They say to write what you know, and for months,

loving you was all I could hope to know.

Hello friends! I'm on my way to SUNY at Stony Brook for Astronomy, but I've always nursed a quiet love for poetry. I post my stuff on my tumblr, poetryofthebroken. :)
