the frost of frozen thoughts do stay
where hidden creatures tend to lay
among the canyons of my brain
where ice has festered in my veins
this vacancy begins to curl
and thoughts begin to twist and swirl
where heat and fire once had burned
but nothing ever lasts I’ve learned
how could you be lost again?
I wonder just how long its been
I bet youre fleeing, running fast
and making sure its me you pass
my hearts a bowl of pain and glass
where emptiness has now amassed
carved hollow from the thought of you
but you never even had a clue
shes left, she’s gone, she’s far away
but I know it’s always been this way
should I follow you out there?
I want to, but I don’t know where
I drink away the day and night
to forget about your lasting flight
but I know this vodka cant erase
the pain of this forsaken chase
the rainbows fade to skeletons
and sadness seems to always win
since youve gone and run away
darkness doesnt leave my day
I miss you now and always will
the hollow of my heart wont fill
to know Im shut out from your life
has stabbed me like a rusty knife
It’s not your fault I’m feeling this
it’s not your fault it’s you I miss
perhaps a God is laughing now
pleased to see me broken down
I hope you’ve traveled wide and far
To where you want from where you are
I hope you’ve found what you left for
that would bring me joy and more
I remember all the things we did
and all the memories Ive hid
to play these games I always choose
so I shouldnt wonder why I lose

…and there’s that way with words i was just talking about.
I thought this poem was quite nice.
In fact I even read it twice.
A woeful tale of pain and loss
Unshakable like an albatross.
Really amazing poem. You should be posting your work on more forums than SP. But I’ve already told you this. It’s up to you how you choose to use your gifts…you have so many.
