Orginial Poetry: it doesn't matter

[snowdarkred]

Wow, I haven't written original poetry in forever. I guess the stress of school has made me reach for my pencil again. This is sort of wistful....


it doesn't matter

it doesn't matter to me
if you come or go
it's all the same
because you're always passing
me by

it doesn't matter, really,
if you remember my name
the stars will still shine
and your smile will be brighter
to me, always

it doesn't matter what i want,
because you are so much more
i want what you want
because it's what you whispered
as you passed me by
but i don't mind

it shouldn't matter, and i know
that i don't have a right to care
when you smile at her like that
like the stars surround her
you look at everyone that way
and i have no right

it shouldn't matter to me
that you always pass me by
or that you don't know me
or that you smile at her
like i wish you smiled at me
i have no right

it does matter, though,
and i don't want it to
so i pretend to not care
even as it burns
because you are the stars
and so much more

Like I said, I haven't written poetry in a while (and I don't do that rhyme thing). I hope this turned out okay.
