The last time you looked me in the eyes (love is just a roller coaster)

It's happening again,
We've been through this before.
You're head is turned away,
Can you look me in the eyes!?

You're head slowly rises as our eyes meet and lock.
You're eyes widen as if you've seen everything I've done, now revealed.
"I hate you" you say, a tear sneaks out of your warm brown eyes and down your delicate face.
All as if time had stopped for that one tear to fall in slow-motion and it be the only thing noticed.
Such a silence in the room i heard the tear crash to the floor.
The sound magnified, as if i were a tiny ant when it fell. With an empty feeling inside, I jumped.

The one who once loved me,
Who's heart was once caressed in my hand
and wanted to spend eternity together,
now hates me.

Ive chased after you before, only to leave me heart broken.
With my knees scraping on the ground, falling and tripping behind you trying to hold you back from leaving me alone.
I can't do it again.

The book has told its story, we've reached "The End."
The roller coaster has stopped going through its ups and downs and has reached its station..

I really liked the lines: "Such a silence in the room i heard the tear crash to the floor./ The sound magnified, as if i were a tiny ant when it fell," and the metaphor about the metaphor. 

Great poem!

Could you look at my work and possibly comment?
