poetry by Michael F. Nyiri
"Ode to Heartbreak"
My love is strong,
and it will never go away
As you walk past me, you still
looked delicious today
You've screamed with a voice
I won't hear, And you gave me
Cold shivers, my dear.
I cannot flip emotion like a switch
I cannot drown my tears and be cold steel
Your moods are closed I can't tell which
Way you expect me to feel.
You said I'd miss you
And I do
But you never told me what I did wrong
You didn't say goodbye
I'm in the air
Writing poetry
Waiting for you to smile
At me again.
I'll say I'm sorry
But it's such a feeble excuse
I guess I haven't been
As I should be.
I want to read your mind
I want to look into your eyes
I want to hear you say you love me
I'm still holding up my care
Although I fear
Without you I'll turn cold again.
I'll take a few minutes to
think of you-
I'll stumble through confusion
And try to fathom your
Dissatisfaction
You were never my "toy"
I cannot own another human being
We have to be equal
We have to free our feelings
And soar to eternity together
I would fly with you
I could never fly alone
Someday you'll feel like you can
tell me
And I'll know what happened
to us
I never meant to hurt you
And I hurt so much
You'll never know.
