PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So this is what ten years feels like

When we first met, I felt so new

Now I feel so old

I’ve got a few gray hairs

A few pounds around my middle

A few secrets that weigh down my soul

It’s like I cry

Even when I’m not crying

I wear my heart like an exposed nerve

Anything that strikes it causes pain

I have a hole that you left

Ever filling it is a dream

All I want to know is why
