Did You Ever Even Exist?

by Thoughtless Consideration   Apr 15, 2007


It took me an eternity with no paper to rid me of my passions,
And yet I still burn with them- like a never ending fashion.
Hypocrisy floats so heavily in the air I could slice it with a knife,
And I'm just telling myself another door is opening somewhere while you walk out of my life.
It's a cruel memory that taunts me, just a voice still ringing in my head,
Your smile and eyes that flow through my mind with such painful dread.
Behind the door that is now forever locked and sealed,
Are a million laughs and smiles and tears that I can still vividly feel.
There was so much hope coursing through the river-like halls that one fateful day,
But now it's all gone- it's all over, just like that we have all gone away.
I still remember the rain that thundered from the Heavens as I beamed with delight,
And the weather today reminded me of those smiles; oh I will never forget that night.
My self esteem that soared while I realized I was making new friends- and fast,
But soon most of them will be gone- and gone for good- while I desperately cling to the past.
These last few days I've been clawing for my pencil, to help me relieve this pain,
While I'm lost in the future and I can't bring myself to live in today.
I need a strong dose of apathy to keep my eyes securely dry,
Because we all know that I'm a hectic mess when it comes time to say goodbye.
So let me swallow some pills and get some sleep so I won't fall apart while I'm awake.
How can something that made me so confident have become such a huge mistake?

    I swear this poem nearly brought me to tears, and I know exactly how you feel. But just remember, all the people that are leaving that brought such great times and helped us have such an amazing year and a funfilled time in our lives. They will never truly be gone. Even if we never see them again after this they will always be there, whenever we think of that auditorium and that music, and everything else that went on in that room. Because through all the laughter, tears, and joy, we were all friends, and that we will always be.

    okay, totally just had one of those inspirational moments so I'm really gonna laugh so hard if this poem isn't even about anything I said lol.
