DescendingA Poem by AJ Bell
She’s leaving soon and she’ll take my heart with her
Care for it my dear, for it’s the only one I’ve got Drunken evenings spent on balconies Do you think I can fly? Maybe tonight I’ll take a swan dive Spread my arms and just soar “If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, Why, oh why can’t I?” It’s 2 AM and I’m dreaming of you Dreaming of what once was Nightmares, really, is what I guess you would call them Are you even alive? This empty bed is just a reminded of all that I’ve lost All that once was, never was, never will be Was I dreaming this whole time? Did I just barely awake? Were you even real? Maybe tonight I’ll sleep on the lawn; fall asleep under the stars Wake up drenched in the morning dew Maybe tonight I’ll drink myself stupid Pass out on the kitchen floor Maybe tonight I’ll actually fall asleep Maybe I won’t dream anymore © 2016 AJ Bell |
