Best Stairwell Poems
I lost myself with you here
Where the heavens and trees weave a canopy
Of silhouette and starlight
A safe haven of innocent love
To which only I now reminisce
Here I fill the void with phantoms
Forlorn moments of you and I
Almost remembered feelings of discovery
Where exhilaration blanketed us
In impulsively tossed protection
On those oppressive and humid summer nights
Sleeping in the protection of your embrace
Breathing sweet ardor
I silently confessed of my spirit
Parching that eternal thirst of you
With no care for consequence
We discovered paradises and agony
Sitting upon this crumbling staircase we once ascended
I spy the traces of the moments once shared
Pallid confetti blowing away
And stepped over in the unseen cracks…
It's strange how a few short seconds can lead you in a whole new direction. It alters how you think and act and see you own reflection from a single moment on my life was forever changed like everything I previously knew had suddenly been rearranged. No one will ever understand just how I felt that day but deep within this poem I shall try to convey I can't even begin to illustrate the person I once knew I intend to simply express the horror I went through. I was suddenly pinned against a cold steel stairwell where not a soul was anywhere to dwell suddenly I was captured no possible way to escape wondering if it was truly my fate. I tried to get away but my soul he had broke I was like an innocent cow that he used to prod and poke my mind filled with confusion and his filled with lust he took another part of me with each and every thrust tears danced down my face I peered into his soul with a firm look of disgrace his cold touch like a vacuum sucking the life out of me his ears were wide open but he wouldn't hear my plea. It is a bit funny that a piece of scum is all he will ever be and the only thing that he accomplished doing in life was me. I may have the sweetest smile glowing between my nose and chin but only I know the truth about the deep secrets held within I may have the prettiest eyes that have seen more than they should and have cried more tears than anyone ever should. I may have the kindest heart but that came with a cost it has felt the worst of pains and experienced the greatest losses I can't change the past and event to which I succumbed, but I can focus on the present and change what is to come. We are all so different and yet so much the same everyone in some way or another will experience a kind of pain everybody has things that they wish not to recall into each life some rain must fall scattered throughout our lives dreary days will steady approach bad memories trailing behind these dark days are necessary just as important as the rest for if we didn't have the worst we couldn't recognize the best.
I couldn’t wait to eat lunch with you tomorrow
But now my heart is filled with sorrow
The world has violently taken you away
I watched as you crashed to the stairwell floor
As your innards were sprawled all over the tile
The red stain will remind me of this cursed night
The night your life was ended
I just wish our time together wasn’t so brief
It is filling me with grief,
As I think of the memories we will never be able to share
I can barely take the thought of you not being there,
When I awake in the morning
So I will stand here in mourning
I will grieve over this world’s loss of ageless beauty
I will grieve over my loss of the one I dreamt of tasting in sweet bliss
I will grieve over you, the one I am sorely missing
I just wish I knew “why?”
Why cruel world?! Why?!
What did my sandwich ever do to deserve to die?
Pumpkins in stairwell
I follow them down the steps
Each has eerie glow
From the small candle within
Lighting up its soul on fire

Everyday you pass her on the stairs
You’re not sure if she even cares
Or feels the same way you do
Gosh it hurts just lookin’ at you
Love rues yeah love rues
Does she feel the connection too
Or is it all in my mind as I’m passing by you
Then you catch my eye, and I turn my face
I’ll try again tomorrow, it's part of the chase
Love rues yeah love rues
