A Misplaced Wish

Crushes hurt

They say to be careful what you wish for

I now know that this is true

If only I had realized it before

Maybe then it wouldn’t hurt to think of you

I wanted you to kiss me

I wanted to be held by you

I tried so hard to make you see

But my feelings you then slew

I finally felt your kiss

I felt the safety of your arms

But things quickly went amiss

I felt another of life's harms

You used my feelings against me

You gave me a taste and snatched it away

The kiss I wanted, but not what I wanted to be

And now I just don’t know what to say

How could you treat me like this?

The alcohol can’t take all the blame.

To you it was little more than a kiss

But this was so much more than a game.

I trusted you more than anyone

And in the end it caused me pain

It hurts to think of what was done

Will I ever completely trust you again?

I know how bad you feel about it now

And I realize that the fault is also mine

But I still have to wonder how

How did everything get so out of line?

I'm not sure about the flow...

I prefer your poetry to that of Zaisham's. Yours can actually be followed and isn't repetitive. I like the wording and how it moved, all the while balancing back and forth between the thoughts of "this is right" to "is this right?" The ending is absolutely amazing. Sometimes relationships can end up crashing and burning, but there are those who will make amends, recognizing their own faults, wondering where it all went wrong. This poem is genius.
