A POEM BY ME

A BIT OF BACKGROUND

So guys, I wrote a poem (which doesn't have a title yet)! It's based off of a short story I wrote when I was around 14 probably. Anyway, it is so badly written but when you create characters, no matter how cheesy their story is, you never stop feeling for them. The girl in this is called Payten (the first POC that I ever created and wrote) and the boy is called Noah (he is the narrator of the story and this poem).

And since I couldn't have you, due to the cross round your neck,

I cherished every ounce of love you were willing to give me.

When you smiled, I kept that light.

Wrapped it round myself, let it cover my skin,

For those nights when I remembered I missed you.

I recorded our conversations in my mind.

Replayed the best parts like a favourite song.

Mine was something by the Beatles, and yours was something different every day.

I treasured the time when I finally kissed you,

and when for one moment, you fully let me in

When you took my hand and stared into my eyes,

I knew that our end was near.

I could see it on your chest,

Forming in your eyes,

And spilling down your cheeks,

I remember that touch though.

The warmth of your hand,

The meaning, of your lips-

And I know that some nights,

Wherever you are,

You still think of me, like this.
