Verse for You

I remember
the first time I saw you
walking through the halls and looking down.

Your hair was disheveled
but not without some order,
like you did your best to hide your inner burdens.

You looked up for a moment
to check your surroundings
and you saw the smile I couldn’t help but wear as I walked by.

I looked down at my feet
to hide my flushed complexion.
Your beauty and your stress were both compelling.

I knew that I was in for a challenge
or maybe a chance at love but we
both know that a pane of glass that’s cracked will break.

And now it’s months later
and we’ve left scars to prove
that we “loved and lost” and all of those clichés.

Where there aren’t scars there are scabs,
and I’ve picked at them for weeks,
leaving all the usual wounds of the past.

And with every day that passes,
I’m seeing bigger shadows
in places where they’ve never even been.

It’s your ghost that haunts me everywhere,
and even though I see you,
your shadow still persists.

So I’ll stare at you each day
and every time you smile
there’ll be shades of red and pink that fade to grey.

Your colors are bright today,
but by tomorrow they’ll start to
wash and fade with the rain.

Because it’s coming, the rain,
and nothing can stop it.
I watch the clouds roll in and hold my breath.

Until we fade, and wash away.

Until we fade.
