PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

She has loved as many people

as I will ever even glance at

and I will spend my life playing catch-up.

She has known as many reasons to live

as I list now in my head

and she still drops them all every step.

She has caught as many eyes

as I dream about when I run out of sanity,

and I will spend my life running from her shadow.

She has stolen the ropes,

the connections I thought I was holding,

they love her hands and I will not lend them to her again.

I wish I was younger.

At least then she would have an excuse to be so much more.
