Fool's Gold Poem

By Katie Epperson


I stand outside watching the sky turn dark blue.
And wonder what I ever saw in you.
Was it the way your smile light up the room?
Or maybe it was the way you let your eyes bloom.
Deep inside my soul.
Searching. . .
But I do not know now, nor do I care.
All that matters is that I got out of there.
I left you, for something more.
Its called life.
So now as the cool air caresses my face.
I think about how wonderful was your deep embrace.
As we used to do, sitting together watching the skyline.
The yellow light and dark blue bright,
Bring back some painful memories.
Of when you and me were together.
I smile, and then think of how much fun we did have.
And why, I couldn't stayed there with you.
I think about why I left you, which was only for the good.
Why was it for the good?
So I wouldn't hurt you later.
We all knew I would.
Maybe the only thing that will always be my love is the nature.
So calm, caressing and reaches deep inside my soul.
You finished crushing my heart today
I don't blame you for doing so.
All the pain I caused.
All the ease I caused by leaving you.
You'll thank me someday.
Just by thinking of what hell I could have caused you by staying.
The pain of which you would dealt with.
God how much I will miss you.
Oh, how much I will hate you.
But what really matters.
Is that I will always love you.
No matter what you are.
My dearest, pyrite.
