Deferred Desire by ~dewintheair:icondewintheair:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Old Poetry Structure > Emotional




I watch you with intent
Dearly departed
If you kiss her once more
I値l take the sun down with me
The sky will die
And I will crumble

I値l defer my desire
And learn to love twice
Once for you
And once for us
In love with the letters
Devoted to the photograph

Head burning
Cheeks hot
Tears bright
You hold her hand
And take my heart

Well. Wrote this a while back. When I broke up with my "fisrt love". As you can tell, I wasn't the happiest of people. And college was difficult. We spent a year and a half together and then I had to learn to ignore each other. It broke my heart. We didn't speak, he found someone else...and I'd never felt so alone. BUT. All of that over now. We are friends now. And look back with nostalgia rather than sadness... And also I have a nice shiny new boyfriend :giggle: :dance:

I really don't know how I feel about it. I think my feelings about it blind my ability to critique this poem. Im not overly happy with it, so I'd love any criticism you might want to offer ...;)

I love it.... you've managed to capture the feelings of losing a love and watching them with someone else really well. The pain of watching them but can't have them

"If you kiss her once more
I値l take the sun down with me"

"In love with the letters
Devoted to the photograph"

Beautiful lines. Created a great sense of loneliness. It's a well structure poem :hug: glad to hear you're friends now tho :)
