Poem
on June 5. © Theresa, All rights reserved So, the sun has set My heart is full of pebbles now Little souvenirs of a beautiful trip But just as surely As the foam washes away the castles we built And the names we left Entwined, hopeful That they would not be erased We both say an unspoken farewell And as the skies,which once were our lovers canopy Give way to night I begin a solitary journey Back to where I once could breath But breathing without you is like dying The butterflies of fools have flown Moths settle in their place Ugly black moths I feel them feasting, upon the remains Of our beautiful summer picnic The tiny holes merge, into one great void Where once I cherished you The fragments of promises trickle onto the shore Grains of dust, crumbs of joy Leave a trail behind me Could I follow it back, should I follow it back Try to find you again? My steps falter, I turn, hopeful But you are just a speck now On the horizon, where only dreams belong So I wave instead And as you disappear from sight My insides weep, like grieving mothers I gather up the hopes and dreams and wishes The fragments of my soul Which are sobbing like infants in the sand And I hold them. try to comfort them hold myself, tight so tight Try to keep my world from collapsing Lest the carnage becomes my sanctuary And into the suitcase of life That once you helped me carry I place the laughter, which tinkles Like childhood forgotten The anger, because once it ignited the fire Of I'm sorry, I love you, lets make up The dreams, because I will need them someday My heart for It still must beat, Even though you have the final piece I wrap them carefully, like antique lace In layer upon beautiful layer Of tissue paper pain The castles are no more now And so I begin The journey of the last goodbye.......
