Recollect

This is a poem i wrote that pertains to the book i just finished.

My eyes sweep the stage

For your majestic presence.

You can feel my piercing gaze.

You look around,

With those miserable eyes,

Desperate eyes.

I shudder.

Guilty for a fault that’s not mine;

Livid, for what I gave into.

Hot tears descend down my face,

Infuriating me into a crazed state.

Finally your eyes land on mine

But it’s too late for you to tell

That I’m gone with the wind,

Yet still present in your heart.

It’s sinister, what happened to us,

Though not our fault.

Blame finds no resting place.

Somehow, I want it to find one,

So it can bring peace to this heinous deal.

I can’t live with the sorrow

That loops around my heart.

I want to find a way

To forget

How it is to be with you.

if you can find a way to make it better, i'm open to knowing.

really nice. I feel so sorry for the person in this. What happened between them, to make them so unhappy, yet they know it wasn't their fault?

beautiful poem : )

[Forest Green]

Your poem demonstrates the conflict of emotions, twisting within, finding no place of completion.
It can be truly sinister.

Excellent word choice; your thoughts are well-described.

Nice work...
