Never Ending
This is a poem I wrote long ago and although I no longer feel the same way, it was something
that compelled me to write and I thought I'd share.
I give up
I was so careless
You try so hard
You strive so blindly
Your will of strife
Lost in reality
I think I better leave
Lie to you and to myself
Please answer my cries
Those silent cries
Those cries that tare me apart
Answer them before I leave
Can I gaze into your eyes and fall into my coffin with a smile?
Those beautiful eyes, crystal, yet so murky
So deep yet so plain
Can I gaze at my dreams and dread my loss?
Or shall you answer these cries?
I offered my heart
You gave it back in pieces
I offered my words
You gave them back as whispers
I offered my ears and never again was I to hear anything as beautiful as your voice
Can I have a nod?
Maybe a kiss goodbye
Or a wink
I guess I better leave
I’m leaving my heart behind
I’m leaving my emotions
I’m leaving my dreams
My careless self behind.
