I was disappointed with this poem when I wrote it months ago. But reading it again tonight made me feel everything all over again. So, I supposed I expressed it well enough to give this a go. Here goes.
Hi there. Hello.
I’m over here,
In the corner.
Hey there! I’m here,
Up on my chair,
Waving in the corner.
Hello! Look here.
Remember me?
The girl you left
Here in the corner.
Remember me?
You left me here
To wait and wave.
Look at me now,
Up waving wild
Atop my chair
Here in your corner.
Look at my skirt
If it were short
Would you see me
Waiting in you corner?
Look at my eyes
Are they too cool
For you to trust
The girl up on her chair?
Look at my lips.
Are they too pale
For you to want
This waving, waiting girl?
Remember me?
I’m still right here
Where you left me
Here in your corner.
Hey! Remember me,
When you look at her,
Over your shoulder,
And in the mirror.
Remember me
When you look
To every place
But where you left me.
Remember you looked
Me in the eye.
Remember you asked
Me to be yours.
Remember that
I am the girl
You said you wanted.
Remember your promise.
I didn’t forget.
(Carmina, if you read this, I am sure you'll want to point out the places I broke from the 4 beat rhythm. I did that on purpose, so it would catch and drag where my thoughts turned hard.)
