Poem Title:
Poem
Unrequited The things i think about, never settle below they float instead and fester inside as I pluck your name in the air a sacred memory folds over foaming layers, floating vapors Creating a chill and then a stupor the last draw of my breath I slipped again, I stripped you tripped in the end Even if you stay in your lane But you’re driving insane so much distance between two cars its impossible to hear Muffled by the wind, carried away the fear I tried to speak, but the sound Never carried over It rises an ache in my throat nerves are calmed, noise is stifled legs are stiffened, feet planted hands firmly gripped elbows abutted in a world prone to forget my memory stays etched in your fractured mind my taste stayed on the lips of the one I've left behind a fleeting moment Betrayed by lust unveiled the trust between the blinks of my eye You remain a distant memory The pain has abated the speed is indeed fleeting Forgotten with the past in the throes between two fires the faded lines, the dying embers Looms over like the sun So I say, you cannot stay Isn’t that off-putting? A broken soul With a spirit so agile My body so fragile, with just one touch, you peel my layers like the sprouting weeds between the pavement the truth wants to be known My touch so brief, and yet it lingered Overstayed its welcome And in the horizon It stretched, it lagged on And with your imagination My skin rubbed raw, My voice cracked, I cringed I become unhinged My heart will always be disquieted Your love forever unrequited
