A Poem by Blue
"

a summer memory

"
I gave you my trust.
You broke it.
Just like how you broke my innocence
ten summers ago
between the numbers of hide-and-seek
behind the bushes
while twilight embraced the earth.
Just like how you embraced me
from my back
as you whispered in my ear
a plea to keep quiet
so as not to be discovered.
I stayed silent.
Just like how you silenced yourself
when you pressed your weight
on top of me
and your hands explored
what's beneath my clothes.
I looked at you.
You smiled.
Just like how you used to smile
during those innocent days
of climbing trees
and chasing rainbows.


You're the older brother I never had.

I ran away.
Just like how I run away
from affections of men,
still scared and scarred...

And summers were never the same again.
Just like me.

I did not see that coming, to be honest. You've done a very good job drawing in a reader and telling a story.

Interesting twist. It's sad but you conveyed the emotions of a one who is damaged and still trying to outrun the pain that is constantly catching up to her. Very well written!

A very emotional piece, that doesn't hit you from the get go, you sort of trick us into thinking it's a love story and then add that horrible twist, which is genius! Great piece.

I don't know if "relatable" is a good word to describe this. I don't want others to go through what .. read more

Yeah but the speaker isn't the only one who has or will go through it.... so relatable is right.
A sad story in the poem.
"Just like how I run away

Scars of life leave us bruised and we hide behind fear and no trust. You told the story in the poem like a bad dream. A strong and sad ending to a excellent poem.

Oh my goodness, I think that this is a very emotional piece. You could literally feel the pain as you read this poem. You just put it all together so well, and the way you started it off I loved it. You did an amazing job, keep up the good work and I will be looking forward to reading any of your other pieces that you have on here.
