Within

Within

deep rooted anguish

for you no longer care.

Words are spoken

gestures are made

once actions were louder

but silence is even louder

letting me know

exactly where I stand.

You made me so happy.

You made my heart sing.

You made me cry a million times

telling me it was for my own good….

Your letting go

your saying good bye

for how else can I go forward

if I am still clinging to broken dreams?

Darkness

where light once did reside

there is no welcoming reprieve

pain ebbs and flows

never really gone

lesser for awhile.

I can write so many love poems

I can write so many lyrical words

I can write……

I can destroy…..

I can maim you on paper…..

I can kill you with my pen…..

What I can not do

is kill

the feelings within.
