#16 Slow Tears

I wrote this a long time after I broke up with someone, after the pain had healed and I could look back rationally, when I had realized he was doing what he had to do.

And that deep down he cared about me.

Slow Tears

by Martini

I look up
as a tear rolls slowly
down my cheek
I think about better days
and wonder if I'll feel that way again
you look at me
with those eyes I know so well
always serious, so deep and insightful
as though you're always in control
But not today
not now
Now you look so scared
like for once you don't have the answer
I gaze at you
looking deep into those hazel eyes
Hoping to understand
why you've said those things you did
I wonder for a moment
if this is all a dream
if I shall wake in the morning
and be relieved
you look at me
with a confusion I have never seen
slowly pull me towards you
and wipe the tears from my cheek

I loved this poem i am going through the same thing at the moment me and my bf broke up on May 1, 2006. My heart still brakes because i really loved him and even though we had only bated for 7 months i knew he was the one. I can really relate to this poem because when he broke up with me he had a really scared look on his face and was really upset about hurting me. But when i could think about it with out crying i knew he did he for the right reasons because it was a long bistance relationhip. Even though it still hurts i still care about him very beeply and we are still really good friends and it is best that way. But i still need to get my heart to believe that which is the hard part. well this is really so i am going to stop. The person who wrote this should keep on writing they are really talented and have a good thing going on, because this poem touched many people.

nice poem, somehow breaking up is a painful process. but when you had moved on, you can just look back to the pain and can say to yourself. i've learned so much from it.
