For You Poem by Aimee Nell

You talk about waiting.
So impatient.
But you don't see
That I'm still waiting for you
To see that I will always be here.
To see that I will always love you.
You don't see that the words you speak
About her
Are like a kick in the gut
And a knife in the chest
To me.
But I support it
Because it makes you happy.
And all I want
Is to see you happy.
-
So this is what I hope for you:
I hope you never have to see
The person you love
With someone else.
Because it's like a knife
Being pushed into your stomach
Or your ribs
Or your heart
The first time you hear about it
Or see it.
And then the knife gets twisted inside you
Every time you hear it
Or see it
Or think of it again.
-
So I'll keep watching,
And listening.
I'll keep waiting.
And hoping.
For you.
