    Our Broken Possibility

    Two days ago was a good day
    Yesterday was a great day
    And I can already tell that today
    Will be wonderful as well
    So I should be high as a kite
    Soaring through a sweet baby blue sky
    These past few days
    These past few days with you
    Have been so great
    So tell me
    Why do I feel so down?
    Because I know that we’ll be friends forever
    And that you’ll love me till the end
    That should make my soul glad
    Yet all day I’ve been trying not to cry
    Trying to convince you
    – No, who the hell am I trying to kid –
    I’ve been trying to convince myself
    That all the things we’ve done and said
    That “recent events”
    Have gone the way they were meant to go
    That things are how they should be
    But still I sit here now
    With this tear threatening to roll down my cheek
    And think, “He’s my best friend
    I’ll love him each and every day to come.”
    While deep down inside
    In the most secret parts of me
    I’m sobbing
    Over the cold and broken corpse
    Of what we will never be.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
