PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

These words have never been spoken

when I dropped the mic and left the stage

to never speak a wish

that spans the ages.

Watching you leave the room

during the audience's applause,

my heart stopped beating

as I ran after a fleeting cloud

disappearing before I may touch

the back of your shoulder.



So very much I had the desire

to say what I honestly felt about you.

In these limited grains of sand

remaining on the hour glass

I needed to.



"I love you."



Though the world can laugh at my mistakes

allow the derision to pierce me.

I wouldn't give a damn

if I could only have

at least one embrace

and speak treasures locked

inside my heart.



...if only I could...



Now outside the lounge,

in the dark,

I search for the traces

of the love you left

because the voice from the past

meanders through the echoes

of shadowed light.



I always, always wish these thoughts

and tears I clutch

would somehow reach you

when you're leaving further and further away.
