Beautiful Scars Poet Verse

Close Enough To Still Feel the Pain

I sat   down...   down...   down...
falling into retributions of lost souls with 
heavy hearts.

I stood   up...   up...   up...
standing high enough to see the pain
crowding over the decades 
of intermediate relations.

I fell   down...   down..   down...
deep enough to catch a glimpse
of the fires of the hell I created.

I flew   up...   up...   up...
high in the sky with hawks
tearing apart their prey
like it was nothing.

I was your prey.
You were my hawk.

I was your hell.
You were my heaven.

I was your lost cause.
You were my purpose.

I walked   toward...   toward...   toward...
the black door of goodbyes...

I ran    away...   away...   away...
far enough to not see my past,
yet close enough to still feel the pain.

Daniel Turner March 29, 2016 at 5:14 PM Very sad poem. Very demonstrative and personal. There was once a saying that goes, "keep your friends close and your enemies closer." Only relevant if your past is your enemy. A very moving write. Peace my friend:) Beautiful Scars March 29, 2016 at 9:06 PM Thank you very much DT :)-luloo
