This Isn't How It Is

When I miss you so much, this is the part I wish to wipe away.

By Pippa RamirezPublished 9 years ago 1 min read

I want to make you proud

but you have your own kid who'll do that

she gets great grades that truly astound

an honor student, something i'm horrible at

I want to love you

but you have another girl for that

there's nothing I could do

to change that fact

I want to be with you right now

but there's people and places you'd rather be

I hope I'm not being too loud

since none of this should depress me

How we are is super weird

but I've loved it all the same

for a while there wasn't any fear

now there's only blame

sad poetry

I've grown up writing poems whenever there was an opportunity. I love inspiring people to do what they love and writing is my favorite way to connect with those of us who have much to say but very little spoken words.
