You

Topic: LostLove

You
What I remember is the time before you were my secret
When those everlasting eyes
Told a better story than these books
Our bodies, as one
Our breaths, never undone
Not just hearing
But feeling your heart beat
Knowing this was nothing short of spontaneous perfection
In the middle of our nights

You opened my mind to greater things
Everything is so much better than it seems
Each memory bleeds through my heart
I adore you, entirely

I remember those muscular arms embracing me tightly
Knowing you had every intention of letting me go
Yet I captured all I could get
Because loving you would always be easier than missing you

Now I feel sympathy for the sun
And how it loves the moon
Even though they will never be together

No matter how many different streets we walked
They all took us in the same direction
You right back to me
And me right back to you

Shattered as it will
And shake as it may
How did you turn into something
That takes my voice away.

There is pain with my secret
And you being my secret is
A monster clawing at my rib cage,
Slashing through my breaking skin,
Gasping for the air on the outside.
Only for my heart to reach out,
Yank it back in
And conceal it
For my heart feared the powerful.

I have scars where you’ve touched me
And bruises where you’ve kissed me.
Lines that you’d written me
And memories of when you missed me.

So like a patient who waits for that
Morphine to settle in his bloodstream,
I waited for you.
I remember my lungs filling with oxygen,
Ready to scream your name
With my broken truths
Hoping that if I spoke honestly,
You would be able to hear me.
Because then you would have all the answers
And only then would I be free.

I became a better person I thought you could love
But maybe I’ll never really know
Because I never really knew you.
I will never get this again
But I was so incredibly lucky to have had it at all
I can only hope that time can heal
What I cannot heal myself
Because when my hands reach for yours
I’m lacing my fingers with a ghost.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
