The raindrops are so small. They sound so soft against the windowpane. I step out of the car wrapped in a blanket of regret. Wondering if you even remember my name.
I turn around to yesterday, and right before me is your warm embrace. I see everything so clearly. Every movement, every touch, every sound, the softness of your lips upon my face.
Im startled from tomorrow, and turn to see whats in front of me. Its you. Your smile. Its your hand, cursed for not holding mine. But holding hers. Im afraid to go the extra mile. I see me, alone and bleeding. You were so deceiving, and yet I fell clumsily, tripping over my heart and not even moving yours.

this is great so full of emotion. you really conveyed your feelings of your sadness from missing someone and your repentance for past wrongs was shown in a very unique way. theres so many feelings packed in this poem. your feelings of jealousy, remorse, and anger. and it all blends together nicely. well done

You definitely have the gift of expression, I hope it always brings release to you when you need it. I love your poetry...honestly. Deceit, mistrust, manipulation often blind all of us, its what we learn from it and where we go from there that matters most.
