LITERATURE: The Unknown Her

Written by Tevin Ponder

The Unknown Her by Tevin Ponder 

When I slept outside the library, 

My love was gone, cold, weary 

During the day I met several sallies 

That didn’t compare to my old companion’s 

Depths, not valley’s

Her guard was a cliff that blocked my steam, 

Like The Hakuma Pali 

She thought I was lost my clothes needed wash our trust died away, 

Do things for myself, 

When it was us-we-were someone else, 

The unknown her, I couldn’t see until that phone call, miserably 

What if she, never ever felt the same as me. 

“Couples we were” 

You were someone 

I was someone you got distant 

I got further 

You were cool 

I was hot 

You could’ve been 

I should’ve been; but we 

Are no longer.
