Midnight Hearts

I was singing Zombie and couldn't get it out of my head one day in Algebra. Looking around I ask if anyone likes The Cranberries? He of course, replied, " I like "Linger". Everyone else too oblivious to life to even know who The Cranberries are/were. I was annoyed at first because I thought that it was a typical answer. I shrugged it off and filed it to the back of my mind under misc.information. Never, guessing that I would fall for him. Dylan the boy with curly brown hair and piercing gaze that rivels Jim Morrison's. As, I developed this crushI remembered this song and how he liked it. I wrote this poem for him a while back and yes, of course linger was playing in the background.

Take me in your arms

Holding me with your sweet embrace

Until we part for one reason or another

What is it that we must be unsatisfied with life?

Passion coursing through our veins

The want and need we hold for one another

Yet, we refrain

Those, glances from across the room

Forever burned into my memory

To be forgotten

As we lay down each other and pick up another

Both, wondering what would have been

If we had not been so afraid to fall

Pride held us back

Your words burned into me and still do

Reminiscing on the past I know I could have changed it all with a word

A single gesture toward you

Yet, I decided to remain coy

Now, I am left here to wonder what could have been

Idealizing my past mistakes with a sweet honesty

Which only a jaded heart could do

Someone who hurts but

is searching for that person

who completes them

Ignoring my own advice because I know

That nothing ever ends with happily ever after

Yet, I still end up wishing for one with you

Note: I didn't end up with this boy, but I'm not sad about it.
