Slow

Another old one about my old high school crush.

Hello there my dear.

Are you wondering why I’m here?

I’m going to give you a piece of my mind.

Don’t worry I’ll be kind.

Hey there don’t be shy, don’t play coy!

You know exactly what I’m talking about boy!

I know what you’ve done,

Standing there so smug, you think you won?

You’ve taken part of my heart

And you’re slowly ripping it apart.

It was fine for a bit

I figured you’d grow bored and quit.

I don’t want this to be a production or a big show

But if you want to kill me, don’t be so slow.

Author's Note

Another old one. This one was actually inspired in part by a song in the credits of a movie. What movie? No idea. It was a while ago.

It's a sad poem but well written. Contentment could play a big part here. Some people leave because they're not happy and still asking for more. Things that we couldn't give them or for them, are not enough.
