Crumpled

poem by: D'Vina Dietrich
Written on Jun 10, 2021

This wasn't the plan 

It's funny because we made one 

Literally mapped it out. 

Not prepared for all the troubles 

But we had that guideline. 

And just like this piece of paper 

It crumpled... 

And just like our story 

I tried to smooth it out 

And it's now it's folded up 

Tuck away in a safe place. 

Because that day will be cherished. 

Regardless. All that was real. 

Yeah the plan failed. 

But that was happiness 

I remember my heels sinking in the sand 

The nervousness in our voices 

Hearing the water splash 

Those soft soft hands...

As soft as our babys little feet. 

I want to share news good and bad

And there's no one. 

I want to vent 

And there's no one 

I'm here alone. 

But I could hear you laughing 

"You did this to yourself"

Maybe it was my plan and not our plan. 

Crushed myself trying to keep it going. 

Yet it's crumpled up. 

That's what I got to remember...

You crumpled it up. 

Threw it in my face and laughed. 

Yeah... 

My mind wants to forget all the bad

But I won't let it. 

I won't let myself forget. 

Just cry it out and remind myself 

It was just me all along. 

It wasn't we or our. 

It was just me. 

The truth of us keeps hitting me harder and harder everyday.

A Bird with a broken wing. The others flew away, Yet he's there, alone. The Others knew it was coming. Gave up on Him. Yet they were a Flock. Weren't they always suppose to be? Poor Bird all alone, No one to save him. H... Read more

Storm

poem by D'Vina Dietrich

Rain falls, Hitting me hard. Tears from my eyes. Thunder roars, Shaking me entirely. Deep in my chest. Lightning strikes, Slashing my heart. Ending my pain. Read more
