After letting out a sigh , i sat next to her on top of my bed
the room is quiet , nothing being said
the fighting and screaming , replaying out aloud
it definitely wasn’t something ,that was meant infront of a crowd
we look at each other , the point of not knowing what to do
i hate she could never , just understand my view
now we sit here , in silence and despair
why am i thinking of the day , i first laid eyes on her at the fair
her pretty brown eyes , sparkled in the night
oh my , in all 19 years , i’ve never seen such a delight
even though it hurts and sometimes i feel low
my heart wants to keep fighting , i don’t want to let her go
i know that another like her , i’ll probably never find
maybe they were right about the saying ..
“ teenage love is blind “
How perfectly captured this feeling of realisation is. The deference between ‘teenage love’ and ‘real love’ is like the difference between lust and love, both important, but not something that can be learned or understood without first having experienced it.
A beautifully thought provoking poem.
