Fish in the sea

by Kaila   Jul 27, 2007


Dark black hair skims the side of my face,
I stand there still and my heart starts to race,
We lay there tonight on a warm red blanket,
My mind knows who I want but heart is still vacant.

Everytime you look at me, I feel as though I'm falling,
I want to tell you how I feel, but my mouth keeps stalling,
Your everything to me I just wish you'd know it,
And when we are together, I can finally show it.

You grab my hand in yours as we lay there in the sand,
I smiled so big, and I'm happy to hold your hand,
Then you smiled, and slowly sat up straight,
Gosh this night felt like the perfect date.

You pulled me up, and I slowly stood by you,
Hoping you would finally tell me your feelings were true,
but something came out of your mouth instead,
those words you spoke I felt so dead.

"Kaila, I'm so glad were friends, can I tell you something?"
I smiled bright and nodded, waiting for that special thing.
"OK I'm asking Anna to be my girlfriend what do you think she'll say?"
I smiled not so bright, and replied "She'll probably say OK."

And with that he left to go find his true love,
I've felt like instead of a kiss I got a shove,
but oh well there are other fish in the sea,
I just know none of them will want me.

    My mind knows who I want but heart is still vacant.
    `Beautiful line .

    I want to tell you how I feel, but my mouth keeps stalling,
    `Brilliant choice of word. "stalling" (:

    I liked it . Unique . It starts out the same as every other love poem, but with brilliant chocie of words :D And then it ends differently . Love it . Leads you on and then knocks you in the face .

    Nicely written, darilng .

    There's one hindi movie named Kuch Kuch hota hai, It's a story of a girl, who falls in love with her best friend ( who is a guy of course) but later she finds out that that guy loves another girl. It happens somehow this way too. They meet someday and that guy says I love you to his best friend. Before that girl had time to say anything, he asked. I've been trying so many times to tell that to her but I just can't. it's too hard. The girl asks to who? And that guy says Tina of course. The tears start to fall on her face but the guy didn't realize it: it was raining. I cry everytime I watch that movie and mostly in that part. This poem reminded me of that. I rly love your poems. Keep up the amazing work. Greatly done! 5/5

    Oh, man. After reading this poem I want to give you a hug. I think everyone has felt like this lol...of course a part of all of us knows it's not true. I believe we're all destined to find someone, but that's easy for me to say, I've finally found mine. An amazing poem with a shocking, and perfect, ending.
