PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Shaky sigh and a prayer

Your breath fanning my lips

Fist clenched in my hair

I know you don't mean this.

Your palm flat on my back

My fingers dance on your sides,

We're both feeling the lack

Of the passion that died.

You've been desperate and angry

And I'm scared and confused,

But there's not enough time.

We've nothing left to lose.

The world isn't kind,

We both know that too well.

And it isn't hard to find

A ticket to hell.

But he wouldn't want this,

You know that as well as I.

So smile and call me "Little Miss"

Without your death in your eyes.

You've been desperate and angry

And I'm scared and confused,

But there's not enough time.

We've nothing left to lose.

And it's been years now

Since you've been gone,

And still somehow,

I'm moving on.

It's been rough, 

I can't deny it.

World's still tough, 

I miss you, I admit.

But I can stand on my own now

And there are new people

Who will catch me

If I fall.

You were desperate and angry,

I was scared and confused.

But there wasn't enough time,

You had nothing left to lose.
