You Underneath Time

A piece I wrote a couple years ago, but haven't shared much.

You Underneath Time is a poem about a broken heart and friendship. This is the tea sis.


You Underneath Time

I am not okay

I hate you

You don't know boundaries

You don't mean sorry

Sorry doesn't mean anything

Sorry, you said over and over

Over time it may get better

Over time it may not

Not looking back

Not thinking twice

Twice this has happened to me

Twice it's ended a friendship

Friendships don't always work out

Friendships are continually broken

Broken hearts are not easily healed

Broken relationships can not mend

Mend my heart I feel so blue

Mend my mind to think something new

New days bring new thoughts

New friendships bring new memories

Memories the good and the bad

Memories I think about all night

Nighttime is scary

The night leads me to think

Think about your actions

Think about what you've done

Done is all I can say

Done are my feelings today

Today I can't bear to see you

Today I want to forget

Forget that night

Forget trusting you

You don't understand

You don't know how I hurt

Hurt me once

Hurt me again

Again I cry

Again I made mistakes

Mistakes have become a "habit"

Mistakes are no longer just that

That thought is in my head

That thought plays continually

Continually I loved you

Continually you were forgiven

Forgiven no more

Forgiven not this time

Time will speak

Time will heal

Heal me

Heal my heart

Hearts may break

Hearts will change

Change this mindset

Change my mind

Mind my business

Mind your own

Own your mistakes

Own up to this

This is over

This cannot go on

On to something new

On a new path

Path to happiness

Path to a good time

Time to forget

Time has a limit

Limit the bad

Limitless the good

Good is around the corner

Good times never stop

Stop trying to be ok

Stop trying to make us work

Work for what you want

Work for the best

Best friends may not stay

Best days are yet to come

Come along this journey

Come to a new me

Me myself and I is what I have

I am what I need

Need some time

Need some space

Space to be free

Space to be me

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
