Crashing Heartbreak.

 

I worry about the future,

            do you not see this crashing wave?

its peak is now and I fear somehow

            the fall cannot be saved.

 

The wind is changing and I feel

            the heart’s beat speed up and down.

Yet there you are �" you seem so far,

            I’m yelling for you but there’s no sound.

 

Fear consumes me. I shake with excitement.

            The world is my unwritten book.

You are a chapter; can you be the plot rather

            than someone whose heart I took.

 

So young and beautiful, so much time to make up.

            Where do we go from here?

For the first time, I don’t have a line,

            this situation begs to remain unclear.

[Peanuts for Prose]

Nice poem here, Justin. I like the parallel you drew between the waves crashing and the relationship ending. What I've noticed about your poems is you don't seem to leave room for the unnecessary. Beyond your years.
