Pray

we must honour the dead no matter what

Heartbroken but proud, I still stay,

I still stand here, waiting for you to come.

Remember? Our meeting here on that day,

Here I saw you follow the sounds of the drum.

 

Come back to me...

 

They came to the others, but you are not here,

Are you still out there though it has already ended?

Come back to me, I want you to be near,

I want this fear to end, to be tended.

 

Wake me up...

 

Years still fly and you have not returned,

Come back I don’t know what to do without you.

Is there something I’ve done to be burned?

I don’t ever want to bid you adieu,

 

I beg of you...

 

Why did it have to come all of this,

Just so then we can be separated?

You’re all alone in a dark abyss,

Our story is truly distorted, manipulated.

 

Make this stop...

This is such a good poem!

Wow! Really great poem!

Oh this was so emotional. I think you really tugged at heart strings when you used ellipsis and 'you are not here' and I love the idea of having to wait a long time for nothing to come - that really brings out the feeling of sadness. This is really good and you know how to evoke emotion
