Poem Title:
Poem
This is my last foray into self expression There are things that I don’t mention But if you look closely You will see that I am broken and lost No matter when you see me If I have a smile on my face I am lying to you I am in excruciating pain What became of her What has become of you You are slowly slipping into the void And you just don’t know what to do There are days when you cannot wake But the sun has risen above the hill outside your window And you’re tired of this ordeal There’s no reason to start the day You miss the brilliance in her eyes Which used to lead you through each hour It pierced through your outer skin And led to your inner tenderness And now it is all gone You can’t pull yourself up You have been leveled by her leaving And your maker has turned against you She is the ghost that haunts you when you wake The shadow that stalks your as you move through the city And the one you long for your in your slumber And separated by the stained glass at night You can see her clearly when you shut your eyes That day you were barefoot in the sand At that Carolina beach in the twilight Feeling whole, by the lifeguard stand And her voice breathes in your ear It has brought you to your knees It shakes you at the core of who you are You feel the gaze upon your eyes And your imminent decent as she turns her back and walks away It is now cold and silent here You are truly alone in the haze of these days It never played out like you planned I wish to sleep forever Where she will meet me in my dreams Cause even if she won’t speak to me here At least I can see her
