Original I couldn’t (an original poem by RadEmpoleon)

My mission was to eliminate her
But I couldn't.

Her beautiful smile,
Her rich brown eyes,
Her silky caramel hair,
Her amazing sense of humor,
Her contagious laughter,
I couldn't.

The boss told me to eliminate her
But I couldn't.

The world stopped
As I looked at her
And my heart pounded even harder
With every breath.
I couldn't.

When I looked at her I knew
Everything would be okay.
I couldn't.

I explained to the boss that
I couldn't
But he said
You're too soft,
You spineless fool.

And as I was getting prepared
To be eliminated by the boss
For not carrying out the mission,
I thought of that girl,
Her beautiful smile,
Her rich brown eyes,
Her silky caramel hair,
Her amazing sense of humor,
Her contagious laughter,
I couldn't.

Just then the whole world stopped
And I could feel her heart
Pounding against mine.
Hers in passion, mine in fear.
Staggered breaths,
Tears streaming down my face.
All of a sudden
Overwhelmed by my own elimination.
I couldn't.

I could hear her soft voice telling me
That everything would be okay.
I believed her.
I loved her.

I couldn't.
I couldn't resist the boss anymore.
I gave up the fight
All for that girl.
I couldn't.

I wanted to tell her
That I saved her
And that I loved her
But I couldn’t.

(This is my first time writing poetry that wasn’t required for school. Also it’s the first thing I’ve written that isn’t heavily involved in death or violence. And the first time I’ve attempted a romantic story.)

 

Ahh thanks!
