Poem Title:
Poem
You were a match that brought a new light into my world, After three months of meeting, talking, showering and walking All my mind could do was think about you The sheer thought of knowing we would see each other made me dizzy with love, lust, a passion I could not mistrust. Under a September sky I sit quietly As I try to remember what it is you first told me Now the words have drifted away Like trash along the shore – not meant to become part of nature – which is so pure I should have kept the memories inside the confines of my mind But it gets so cluttered sometimes, I know it’s my job to keep these wires organized Every time I hear Nirvana, I remember driving down the road With the cows looking at us through the rolled-up windows You sat in the front and told us all how you didn’t like this music A twinge inside my gut poked at the thought you were in my life just for this moment The things you said afterward made that so very potent You were in my life just for the moment It felt like magic the times I had with you, before I knew how much hurt a mouth could do I pull the petals off a flower, it’s so strange how words can have so much power It can affect you now until long after Your words used to speak to me but now it’s only blabber My head knows I’m better your gone My heart sings a slow, heavy mourning song. I wish they would meet, and fix all these pieces that broke when you left I going to return from this heartbreak But I won’t be the same a candle burnt from the flame What are you? Well, a moth that can’t find the light I sit here, and cough from the smoke of the lady nearby A cigarette hangs out of her mouth I ask her for one, she shrugs Can’t be done Ok I say, I fold your faded picture up and walk away.
