DISTANT THINGS CONTEST Sponsor: John Lawless Detached from my beliefs I carried your burdens. I thought our love was for certain. I was reserved for a heart so giving. You were my reason for living; a relief of madness that encircled my mind daily…nightly…daily. I needed you back then. I craved attention from auras of white and sunbeams of gold. Truth be told, I thought I was the one for you, and you walked off through the distance into the darkness. Space doesn’t seem to be far enough, and the stretch of the moon seems too close. For you were the one who meant the most. I miss our vows that were tenderly sworn. You so cold and me so…warm. thoughts fading away needing me wasn’t your plan off in the distance Pretending to take care of my heart just seemed too much for you. You fell apart with my words so true. You sat there and gave a message I couldn’t handle to hear. Was your plan to fill me with fear? You seduced me into your universe marching off into the nothingness. I think it was your impulsiveness. I reflected on last week’s conversation. You stood without hesitation. Me begging you to stay and you running far away, pleading me to leave. I was left to grieve. Off into the light I was shining and all of a sudden you cursed a blackness shadowing my radiance. I was left in silence. I miss our vows that were tenderly sworn. You so cold and me so…warm. too much to handle no room in your universe off in the distance Tears flowing and no more hearts glowing. Me betrayed wishing you stayed. So absurd how you intentionally lured me through the caves of broken hearts. You left with outspoken scars. Underneath the shadows you journeyed into your own realm. I was left overwhelmed. Couldn’t you try just one more time? The poetess inside me just didn’t seem to rhyme. Was I too blind to notice your leaving? I only wish it was me you were retrieving. After conceiving the way you wandered away, my memories notice the days following up to your disappearance. I was left wallowing waiting for your remorseful clearance. I miss our vows that were tenderly sworn. You so cold and me so…warm. tears of betrayal leaving me was too easy off in the distance Date Written: June 10, 2016
