I miss you dearly even after you've just left,
I miss your musty smell lingering around me,
When you're close,
I miss the giddy look in your eyes,
I miss seeing that every day,
I miss those little glances we had that said so much,
Although no words were spoken,
I even miss the jellyfish way,
You're utterly lacking vertebrae,
I loved how you always made me laugh,
Even when my heart was cracked in half,
I knew I could always count on you,
When life was gray and I felt blue,
You saw past my numerous flaws,
And I know not of the cause,
What thing could persuade you,
Was it my love that repaid you,
For I never thought that you,
Cared like I wanted you to,
But I know as much as I miss you,
You aren't good enough,
You're not everything I want,
You run around and you taunt,
What woman wants a boy,
Who drops her like a toy,
No, boy, you've never been good enough,
I didn't realize it all along,
I discovered where it went wrong,
I could've seen what you lacked,
The odds against you were stacked,
And now I'm stuck missing you,
When I'd rather be kissing you,
Life's funny that way,
When we go astray,
Sometimes we just end up,
Back at the start,
The root; the heart.
~~ This is after reading a lot of lengthy oddly worded poems in my brit lit class! It's a painful class, i rather dislike it surprisingly enough! At first this really sucked. I deleted a whole section because i really hated the poem, then i kinda liked it, and now i'm not sure.
