I Shouldn't Have

A poem I've written for the heck of it. I had the inspiration, so why not?

I stand here

Listening 

To your confession of love

Your words, so beautiful

They cradle my thoughts

A smile tugs

The deep meaning behind each

And every word

The way they flow from your tongue

They way you can make warmth

Burst from within me

The love you give reddens my cheeks

Wets my eyes and chokes my breathe

And so I stand here

Hidden by the wall

Clutching my heart

Having overheard something

I shouldn't have

Author's Note

Hmm...well I wrote this in the middle of the night, so I don't know if it's good or not. I got the inspiration for this poem while I was washing the dishes, haha. Great isn't it? Oh, the places that inspiration will decide to jump on you...

I don't know if it was meant to have this meaning, but what I read and feel in this poem at the beginning until the end is a love that is superficial but feels real. You believe that you are loved and feel that you are loved only to overhear the one you love and expressed his love saying something that contradicts the love expressed and felt. Maybe it's just me that got a different meaning out of the poem. But the end of the poem, ends dramatically. It leaves with almost the same feel you would get if you were actually in the situation described. I like the fact that the poem brings out emotion and tugs at the heart. If another interperation was meant, Please do share what the true meaning of the poem is. I would love to know. I liked your style.

Your interpretation was what I had in my mind while I was writing this! I'm glad that you were able to get it, I was a bit unsure if others would, but you got it, so it must be fine. Thank you for reading and reviewing!

Not a problem. It was great! not just fine.

Even though the words he said blew away like wind as summer turning to autumn, there is truth in this, a sad truth but a truth nonetheless. I'll review the other one when I have time and finish the story of a dragon.

You should do the dishes more often.

You incorporated a bit of poetry into your review even! It is pretty sad, isn't it? Loving someone else, and then, BAM! Heart=Broken

I'll be looking forward to the ending of Smaughyn.

I'll try...I'm not really fond of the dishes...or chores in general...
