February

• Artist: thenewenlightenment
• Description: This poem was written somewhere around the 20th of February, hence the title and the quote "after the day, before the day", which means nothing to you but a lot to me. February is a favorite month of mine for many reasons, and this was written as more of a review of past and current events; like I said, it may mean nothing to you, but this poem was literally my life at the time. It's prose-style, a style I don't write in often.

They say one word
I think of you
Trying to stay off the subject,
Staying away from the topic,
Ignoring the things that they teach me.
Every memory of you,
Every unspoken word,
Every thought brings the blood to my cheeks.
After the day,
Before the day,
Romance to romance.
It's been almost a year now, do you still remember?
I couldn't focus
And I still can't.
Fretting the large things,
Ignoring the small,
I've been trying to forget
But it only brings me back.
You don't care.
You didn't care.
Would there be a chance?
If you responded
Would you mean it?
Romance to romance.
People putting words in my mouth,
Taking yours away.
Please don't go away.
You scared me last time.
Until then,
I'll have to wait
For you to be mine.
