PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You spoke and I felt the fog break,

I know that it seems silly

but I almost thought that I was forgotten.

I sat back and wrote down all the things I lost in the past few years,

I been striking them off one by one. 

The eyes stuck to the ground,feet heavy.

I watched compassion, happiness and the heart all wither.

I don't expect you to understand where I've been,

can't pretend I didn't try to find you in everyone for years at no prevail.

I felt the shake of life breathing down on me,

tears compelling me to the darkest places.

I remember them shouting

"come down from there!"

I took my make shift wings as high as they could go,

unlike Icarus I made it back.

Circled the world found a grave in every place I laid my head,

got close to the sun just to feel a burn.  

Your touch woke me from a haze,

I got all my flaws laying out for you to see.

Please forgive me, this is all new again.

Curiouser these eyes grows,

lost a few lives to get back to a place where I can breath.
