Nothing

A Poem by destiny

what do you want from me

you say,

i stare at you but i dont see you,

if i answer with utter truth,

that i only want the real you,

youll ask why.

ill give you a sigh

youll roll your eyes

and my heart will flutter.

but not the good kind,

sometimes,

i ask myself why cant i just be happy

and the answer i get never seems to satisfy,

because happiness doesnt truly live here.

not in the form of material smiles and designer faces,

you insult me.

with your chocolate brown eyes and looks of despise as my heart reaches out for you,

youre confused.

or maybe its just me

as i wonder what i did wrong

what i did to make you leave.

i dont want this.

love is no longer a storybook happiness its

desperation and heartbreak.

mix it with lonliness and heartache.

the fall was bound to have an ugly break.

but i still stayed.

what do you want from me you ask

but how do i answer this truthfully?:

the only thing i want is you and me

how it used to be,

its been a while since ive felt wanted,

no since ive felt needed

and i think you know this ,

and i think you might care

but i know you dont and i wonder if my eyes

say the words that my mouth wont but

it doesnt matter now.

does it?

what do you want from me,

you demand and

i cant help but stand in utter silence,

and i think to myself ,

i want whatever you can give me to cure this mess

and instability that some people call

feelings..

but do i even have any?

no,

do you even have any?

better question right
?

do you ever think of me at night and wonder

if you should have had a little bit of sympathy

despite

everything?

but i snap out of my daze and i stare you in the face

and i muster all my courage

i prepare to walk away.

silent.

what do you want from me you scream'

and i dont want to cause a scene truthfully i want everythng

but you dont have to know that.

i pray my eyes arent like a roadmap,

can you read the hurt that stays here?

and if you can do you care enough to stay near?

i doubt it.

so what do you want from me?

you ask,

and i sigh.

and i smile.

bat my eyes,

turn around,

and this time i reply,

"nothing."

Contemplative to say the least...it has the feel of the out and out...of a relationship...the ending of terminal bliss...and you go back and forth in the argument...like its going to make a difference...yet the verdict has already been made before the argument started...seems a bit too real...a personal reflective in there...
