Oblivion

A tear escapes
slides down my tender cheek
as I hear your vacant voice,
the voice that used to be 
so full of life,
of love,
that used to protect me in my
innocent oblivion.
But I’ve lost you now,
you’re an impossible distance away, 
I’m searching with all my heart and will
but you don’t know to be found,
you don’t know I’m looking,
you don’t remember that you want me
to find you.
my tear falls,
and the crack in my heart grows
but for your sake I wont let it show.
Your oblivion is your only protection.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Interesting write about hiding our emotions...That doesn't work over the long haul because those emotions are going to boil over..Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
