Sub Rosa

I see you with them. With her.
A quick view but I know it was you.
I let the sky cry for me.
I let it cry the tears I have to hide.

For a brief moment, I believed you belonged to me.
For a brief moment, she did not exist.
But that was just in my little world, you belong to her, to them.
I am the one that does not exist, that should not exist.

I have five minutes to get myself together. To smile.
First time I see them together.
I want to throw up. I breath.
Keys at the door and my roommate is home and I greet her with a smile.

i agree with alan.... i think we put too much thought and faith in romanticism.... nothing is ever perfect, but things are usually never so bleak either... good luck kiddo, you'll need it, but try to not let it get you down.

This was a wonderfully collected write. I love the part about the sky, how you just drop the weight of pain onto the clouds themselves, even if just for a moment. That situation indeed sucks, but at least your writing expresses it well. =)

"I have five minutes to get myself together. To smile."..I know how hard that can be..this was expressed perfectly

That fucking sucks. Not the poem. No not at all. It was very well concieved, and well portrayed. But the situation its self eats cock.
