Guilt

Okay, so I’m on the amino app. In the poetry community and I was going to enter the weekend challenge but I didn’t make the deadline so I thought why not post it here. So here I go the challenge was to write the poem in letter-style, so yeah.

Dear ___________,

Why do I feel so guilty?
Looking at happy memories,
Associated with you.

I know the feeling is not normal.
I know that you didn’t mean it.
I know that you are oblivious to how I feel.

I hid and avoided
Ducking in and out of buildings
Just to not run into you

But when they told be how
You had flushed red
When teased

I felt guilt and sorrow
Why had my feelings been more important
Why did I leave you,
In their line of fire

I’m sorry I did nothing
As you took all their jokes

Maybe it didn’t bother you
Maybe it’s all in my head

But I will never know
If you truly did flush red

Did you look at me
As I glanced away

Do you hate me?
As I run away.

Hey,
Can we still be friends?
Even though I ditched you
And left you defenseless in the end.

I’m sure you’re fine
And don’t even care

That the thoughts in my head
Aren’t even there.

So I’ll go away now and leave you here
Without me maybe you’ll be safe from their endless stares.

I’m sorry,

love, C

Well there’s that, hopefully it was good. I had those feelings stored in me for a while so now it’s all out and it feels great. I encourage you to write a poem or a letter about lost feelings or hidden loves. It might make you feel a little better when you let it out.
