Spoken Word

Sidenote: Obsession with Poetry is far from over. I am going to be a poet. Period. All of you who have not heard of Sarah Kay must die or just google her. She is brilliant and poetry is going to keep coming up in this space. Deal with it.

Her clothes are weary, 
Just like her eyes.
Hair messed and her weak smile only a disguise. 
She was lovely & then he left her

Is what they mouth every time she passes by

Only a shadow of what she used to be

So sad but she tries 

They don't know what happened

Maybe they were always fighting,

or maybe they never did

Maybe love left them

Or maybe they left love

Maybe her heart 

Now has a hole cut out in a shape 

That resembles him 

Maybe the words hurt, or just the quiet that kills

Maybe they didn't have what it took to love

Or maybe love took all they had

Her hair is messed up and her smile is weak

And each time she passes by

She was lovely and then he left her is what they speak

She is seen sitting on that park bench

Almost tracing where he would normally be

And as the sun kisses her arms

She feel his embrace

Wondering  if her unwavering belief would set things right

That maybe if she still believed his love is around her

She'll survive.

A mark sits on her finger

Where a ring used to be

They see her trying to hide it

But pryingly they see

Her is messed up and her smile is weak

And each time she passes by

She was lovely and he left her is what they speak

My favorite Sarah Kay video. Watch it!!!
