He didn't hear me the second time.

by Jolie Jordan

No,
your attempts were not in vain.
I lowered my weight
until I was able to slip under yours,
and I folded my limbs were you collapsed
allowing friction to subside to rest

but you catch and carry these thoughts
that you just might smother me here;
and you do,
  but
   not
  like
    that.

I do not apologize to you
and you might understand this
though they do not. (and will never)

Laying my remorse to sleep
under dimmed blankets of white,
this is where I told you that I was worthless (..I'm not worth this.)

You spat harshy,
and wept.

And I could only sit there;
next to your strong frame, now made unsteady

 ( .staring at the pavement. )

"I told you I was worthless.."

Author's Note: He's the only one who ever cried, and it was my shortest relationship ever. on other note, I was laying in bed last night..thinking about deleting my library.

I know I can't understand it fully, but I'm always so blown away by you. Delete if you want, but don't ever stop writing.

with a poem like this, understanding it fully is not necessary to experiance it. this mind-blowing.
