*This was written about a year ago, when I was going through a pretty hard time with a guy...since then, I have gotten over it and realized it was nothing but a juvenile mess....anywho, this pretty much illustrates my frustration with the situation...I'm not much of a poet, but here it is!*
Yesterday’s Makeup
this is why I wear the dark circles under my eyes
the hueless lips, the creased blue, barely visible
because yesterday you turned away, afraid to know me
apprehensive to dispel the naivety that was me
this is why today you are a distant thought,
yet a pain that remains close to my heart
but to return to that moment of truth-
happiness is a gift
yours was but an illusion
a gift given to me, but faded too soon
the longing that was held inside you, an emotion reciprocated
so you gave the gift to her
after me
because it suited your selfish needs
although I am now a distant thought to you
I still see you look from the corners of your tired eyes
to see if the tears have dried,
if my face is as bright as it was for that time,
and you hope that yesterday’s makeup is gone.
