EmptyA Poem by John ByrdI can’t get over you. Such a tall wall that took a while to develop. It was as if a flower grew between the concrete. You’re not like any wall that I have seen before. I never predicted this to happen. Please Don’t hold me captive for too long. Rome was built in a day But something this great took much longer. I don’t even know if it’s Rome. Please come back. GO AWAY. I can’t make up my mind. But my hearts know what it likes. It’s been months and you still appear in my dreams. Stay just a little while longer. I need you. NO I want you. I miss the touch of your skin. You mock my life. Your soft skin. Talented lips. So complete. Now I’m empty. Null Void. Failure after failure. I can’t tell you this. You’ll just say you’ll get over it. Our friendship is more important. I think. Who cares about feelings? I wish I could share my mind with you And you share your heart with me. Reality doesn’t work that way. Terror. Despair. Sadness. © 2014 John Byrd |
