#WedNightPoetry: "The Best I Never Had" by Seymour Banks

"The Best I Never Had"
By: Seymour Banks

I never knew
Love like this...
Or us like this...
Or you...
See...
Its been 10 years
Since we met..
Quiet as kept
Im a mess
If i cant have you
Or...
Kiss you..
Or...
Love you past
Conviction
Shorty...
Like diamonds
You glisten
Your smile
My prison of past
Insecurities
In your friendship
I found security...

See in you..
I see purity
But in you
You see
Fear of me...

Confessions to you
Left me curbside
With my heart
In my lap
As those words died..
Who am I
But a guy
Who would die
To be the guy
In your eyes...

When you mad..
I wish I could
Realign
The stars
And time
To leave you glad..
Be the front line
In which you confide
In times
You sad..
God damn
I love you bad...

You're the best
I never had...
