Laebedah's Poetry

[laebedahs]

I only see her in passing
a small wave here
a half smile there
but I can tell she does not mean it.

She wants nothing between us
not a relationship, not a friendship
not even to know who I am.
I know I cannot have her in any way.

I try to forget her but she burns in my mind,
a candle refusing to be extinguished.
The tears from my eyes do not put out the fire
but simply cause it to burn brighter.

But still I dwell on what I could have done different
what went wrong, where I went wrong.
Why I am so wrong.
