PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m inclined to bend towards you-

a flower in need of the sun’s light

when my only other option is

to wither away in darkness.



But there is no love in our contact;

it is one-sided where I soak in

all your heat, and you are just

guilty of being willing to give it off.



I rely on you to rise every morning.

However, you never promised you

would, I simply expect it because

it is all I have ever known.



One day, you will hide below

the horizon—keeping your radiance

from me and others who depend

on you—to show us we can survive



without you.
