General
The clock softly echoes in the dark
Emphasized by the distinct lack of noise in the room
My heart and mind cry out into the darkness, searching for answers naught to be found.
Memories of our time together at the park
Soft echoes pointing to the culmination that is our doom
My heart and mind cry out into the darkness, berating the clock so tight tis wound.
Why, Why! It cries, why doth thou not answer?
The loneliness creeps in, silent its cancer.
How quick one’s life can change,
What was close now out of range?
Cliché terms, once viewed without thought nor understanding,
Truthful words, whose meanings now revealed,
“what is love? … don’t hurt me” suddenly clear
“You know you love her when you let her go” the line is painfully demanding.
The words we knew all along, whose meaning was once concealed.
These words of love I sing to thee my dear.
I pray you learn to trust your wings,
To forget about these petty things.
Open your heart, let down your guard,
Step out, defenseless into the yard.
Release the tension, allow it to fly away.
Spread your wings, admire their inherent grace.
Know that they can catch you, trust them and you will see.
My heart, oh how I wish that you could stay.
My mind is searching, yet unable to keep the pace,
My heart unable to cope with the person who you came to be.
No response from the darkness,
Only the clocks persistent ‘TICK’ with starkness.
Enough! I cry out in desperation,
Only to be met by silence, my situation.
This is a vent poem, it has little structure to it, and no pre-planning..
Any logic or flow is purely by chance, i was tired and semi-depressed while writing it, so the flow is rather choppy.
It appears to follow an A,B,C,A,B,C,D,D,E,E rhyme structure.
Comments are welcome.. i hope i somehow inspire you with my words of rambling :)
Thank you for taking the time to read the poem...
Silver is now single, and that ok for now... i trust my wings <3
I do wish i would have just let it flow, instead of forcing a strange rhyme-scheme, but alas what is done is done...
I typed it late at night with only the sound of the clock on the wall for company... and the pressing silence within :P
Thank you for reading it, i do appreciate it!
But generally speaking, one of the methods of coping with a difficult situation is denial.
It is often difficult to come to terms with how a situation truly is, as it is much easier to pretend that everything is OK.
