Lingering

You linger in my mind like a leaf leisurely falling to the ground. Dancing back and forth with the wind.

But this leaf seems to endlessly fall. It just sways as each burst of wind hits it.

I know one day it will finally hit the ground.

When it chooses to touch, it will be like a Kiss from a deadly spider.

A deadly spider who’s venom will shoot through my veins. Making my heart ache with intolerable pain.

All I can imagine I would want is to allow myself fall into the darkest hole and die with the pain so that finally one day I could let go and one day I could be whole.

You still linger in my mind but I’m waiting for that day when the wind whisk’s you away so I never have to live in pain.

Author's Note

I kind of threw it together, I've been trying to get back into writing but there's so much I'm not sure how to word! Let me know what you think.

I enjoyed the words you chose to paint the imagery for this piece. I found it as though a poetic story from the heart, in itself it was well composed. I often think about posting just my ideas, unrefined or unprocessed. Though I found this piece to be much more structured than merely raw thoughts.

I truly found this an enjoyable read from your heart...well penned.

I believe hard to forget some things. Some memories are to remind us to be careful and wiser. Linger is a good word. Some memories are permanent when the pain is tattoos on our heart and mind. Thank you for the excellent poem.

I love poems that are haphazard like from stream of conscience to jumbled thoughts...I personally believe it gives a poem character. Nevertheless, a lovely poem and a lovely read.
