Hana: The Beginning

 This is the first "chapter" of Hana... Hope you like this beginning poem! :) If you take the time to read this, then please give feedback; I'll endure any amount of harsh criticism if it'll make me a better author in the end. Enjoy.

The Beginning



 

I ripped all of them off,

One by one,

Each one died a

Frail

Little

Death.

Kept my tongue bitten,

My mouth shut,

Just tearing, tearing.

 

"Love me or not?"

It was stupid to ask.

Stupid to think that

He would really last forever.

(Doesn't everything wilt?

That's my understanding.)

 

I watched them all blow away,

One by one,

Each carried by the wind in a

Cold

Frigid

Breeze.

Kept my thoughts silent,

My feelings hidden,

Just blowing, blowing.

 

"Love me or not?"

It was naïve to ask.

Stupid to believe that

Love can really last forever.

(Don't we all get blown away?

It's what I have speculated.)

 

He watched my hope wilt away,

Bit by bit,

My heart breaking into

Black

Jagged

Fragments.

Silently laughing,

He rudely stares.

Just watching, watching.

 

"Are you leaving or not?"

He was stupid to ask.

Stupid not to realize

That I was already out the door.

(I guess he just glanced away?

That's what I assumed.)

 

Memories eat away at me,

Piece by piece,

My happiness devoured by

That

Damn

Cheater.

Depression is lurking,

Misery is company.

Just eating, eating.

 

"Did he love me or not?"

Is it stupid to ask?

Stupid to ask

What his feelings really were?

(Could it have been real...?

Maybe I was wrong.)

 

Ugh, giving myself a headache,

With every thought,

Becoming a

Confused

Lovesick

Girl.

My heart has sunk.

Was I... wrong?

(Not possible...)

Just aching, aching.

 

I ripped all of them off,

One by one,

Each one died a

Frail

Little

Death.

Kept my tongue bitten,

My eyes shut,

Just crying, crying.
