How?

How?

A Poem by Alexis
"

Read it.

"

Light, minuscule fingertips

softly graze the quiet waters

showing such love and affection

Are they always so gentle?

Strong, yet thin arms

embrace my fragile self

showing such care and protection

How could you love me so much?

Dark, soft eyes

peer into my inner self

they suggest that you'll always be there

Why do you care for someone like me so much?

Throughout the years I've fallen many times

Throughout the years you've picked me back up

Best friends until the end

What could ever separate us?

Rough, dry fingertips

pierce through the shattered waters

showing such hate and disgust

You've never been gentle.

Ruthless, tough arms

squeeze and break my heart to pieces

showing such carelessness and danger

Why do you despise me so much?

Penetrating, harsh eyes

stab at the confidence I once had

they tell me you'll never care

How could you abandon me like this?

Author's Note

Alexis
It's hard to feel like you're all alone and those that you once trusted completely abandoned you.

So, yeah, I wrote this while I was sitting in German class today listening to people do their speaking assessments for our finals. I wasn't 100% sure if I should post it here, but I'm going to take the chance and do it. Let me know what you think because I honestly don't know what I do. XD
