Jessica Carrasco Poet Rhyme

Yellows and gray

You opened the door
we said hi
what was going on
in your mind?
mine wasn't there
mine was behind 
trying to untangle the knots
of my life...

You came to my office
to talk about love
I wasn't ready at that moment
I had to say no
you left me with my sins
and with another knot
for you to not to be seen  
anymore...

My world started spinning
at the fear of my lost
in the end we were friends
I didn't want you to go
I forgot about my life
and all what happened before
I couldn't be abandoned
once more...

I ran into your arms
like a broken bird
begging for you to come back
begging you to stay
I didn't know I was being fooled 
by my past pain
by my terrors and my guilt
and my yellows and grays

You were waiting for me
in triumph and delight
just like one who achieves
a trophy so shine
you opened your heart
but not for a long time
I got trapped inside with no key
while you left for life.

Jessica

Paul Bell June 16, 2024 at 11:06 AM Sometimes it just doesn't happen, and that is the great downside of life. Just means the next time will be better. ( Change runned, to ran.) Paul Bell June 17, 2024 at 7:25 AM 25 years, that's a long time. Jessica Carrasco June 16, 2024 at 11:31 AM The grief of realizing after 25 years that it was probably over the first one... and thanks for the correction, I wrote it in tears and made many mistakes (not that I don't make some without the tears lol) I took the opportunity to re-write some other words...hugs!
