Page 16 Coyote Chronicle February 7, 2018 Poems Dear Girl I had a Crush On Hummingbird Heartbeat Addicted to Anger

By Anonymous By Jon-Erik Olson Contributing Writer By Crystal Harrell Contributing Writer Copy Editor Dear Girl I Had A Crush On, The speed of hummingbird wings Distorted by fate I’ve finally begun

I know you may find this surprising. Mimics my frantic heartbeat To pick up the pieces left by someone. But I don’t. When you stand so close to me Forgiving the reasons there was no good-bye I knew the moment I saw you that I felt something for you. Without noticing the change in scenery. Attempting to cope and understand why. Not because of a “look” you gave me. I gave into a dream one April night, Reeling in madness while hooked on a dream I’m sorry I came on too strong and made you feel uncomfort- able. Where we scaled castle walls on ivy ladders; Always reminded of what I had seen.

I couldn’t suppress myself anymore. You with bruised feet longing for the holy ground Standing alone I’m driven toward danger

I couldn’t not know what you thought about me. And I with a wandering eye on my awaiting prize. Only to find out I’m addicted to anger.

What was going on in your head… Thunder clapped and lightning screamed our praises, Yelling in silence while screams amplified

You did always say you would never say something to hurt But you cut me loose before the summit of my fears, Can’t understand why harmony died. me. And branded me an offering to the chasm. Walking away so you would become You were right. Nightshade and a sprig of clover Something your not and decided to run. You didn’t need to say anything. Pay their respects at Spring’s late funeral. Destroying my thoughts and killing my soul Your silence spoke louder than all of the words ever invented. A mourning song playing in my mind Making this anger spin out of control. But don’t worry about the pain you caused, Stops with the staccato of your approaching steps. Falling in madness and crashing each time Because I will get over it. I indulge in pure imagination this golden morning, Learning life’s lessons the hard way I find. I’m sorry that you couldn’t handle me having a lesbian crush on you. Starting with a forest growing atop your head; That nothing has chased my dreams away

Sincerely, So that I might pick every flower I see I’m turning the page and finding today.

A Girl Who Doesn’t Care Anymore. With a perfume sweeter than my own. That all I can do is continue to dream

So that I might tie a promise around your wrist, Cannot destroy the hope I have seen.

Taut, and strong, and miles long, Leaving behind the monster inside

To keep you from getting lost in the brush. Not getting off of life’s memorable ride.

Remember me in this moment as your life flies by; Realizing the fears are attached to the pain

Only then will the winds of change Killing the reasons, forgiving your blame.

Guide you to the place you are meant to be, Progressive resentment is finding a cause

Without me. To complicate things, pointing out flaws.

Hovering over the same bud Escaping the past to discover what’s real

When the well has run dry Coming to terms with how this should feel.

And the nectar bitter Alone I have walked so far away

Is foolish if you have wings. Until I had reached a place I could stay.

Next to the edge I’m flirting with danger

Realizing now, I’M ADDICTED TO ANGER…
