I saw him and I wanted to stay!

Day 15/30: A series where I write a poem every single day for 30 days.

By Maryam BatoolPublished 7 months ago β€’ 1 min read

I saw him on the street one day

I saw him and I wanted to stay

He was crying and I gave him a pat

He didn't ask me, but I was sat

He was broken for sure, I comforted him

He was hurt, but the air to me felt thin

I told him not to cry and he listened

I told him to stop, yet I was imprisoned

He never appeared on the street again

He was either gone or I treated his pain

But, I told me, that I wanted to stay

I said, I wanted to hear him say

A lot of things, A lot of pains

To share the heat, to share the rains

He disappeared, I wanted him not to go

He left, and I started to feel low

It's been years

I don't know how many

I've lost count

And I saw him in the street again

Either the wound opened or it was the pain

I saw him again and I wanted to stay

I wanted to ask many things, his way

He didn't ask but I healed him though

He recognised, but he didn't want to know

I offered tissues, healed the scar

He left again, disappeared like a star

.

A/N:

    Ah! to love someone in silence or without reciprocation - painful. Well done Maryam. And you are half way - you've got this babe!!!

    It feels like a short film when I read it, very well written.

  • He seems like an ungrateful asshole though because he leaves once he's healed. Loved your poem! Also, where do you find these images for your cover pics?
