Sunflower

For anyone who's ever lost someone, in any way.

Why don't you talk to me again?

Tell me everything will be alright

I don't want to live anymore with patient grace

I'm begging for dawn's new sign

I can't sleep anymore

But when I drift I hear your fading words

Telling me what will one day be mine

It's been over a year, since I've been searching for the daylight I don't think I'll ever find.

Author's Note

I appreciate it endlessly if you read, and please tell me if you enjoyed it, and I hope you're doing well. (:

This is so true to so many...keep searching and searching and never find. But, one day, the darkness and pain will lift and daylight will endure. I just wrote something about lingering in an abyss, darkness, emptiness...and when the daylight came I was able
to leave this blackness!!! Coincidental! Great poem!
Best, Betty

That's a very great coincidence, haha! Thank you so much for reading and leaving another very kind review!

This poem brings to mind the spirit of the book/movie: "He's just not that into you." This narrator seems to be waiting around without much encouragement coming. Lots of people do this (so you describe reality vividly), but I would advise that a year is enuf time to invest in a bad investment (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

To lose a love, rips our peaceful places.
Our sweet joys, ooze out, washing away our sensibilities.
We are abandoned, without hope, to suffer alone.
Have we enough thread, to weave a new heart?
Are we certain we want one?

Thank you so much for the review! I agree with what you're saying, it's very true.

[VALORMORE DE PLUME]

Thank you for posting this heartfelt poem. I enjoyed it very much. In fact, my response became a poem too. Thanks for the inspiration.

This is a wonderful piece and a joy to read! Waiting on a sign feels like a never ending up hill battle. So well written.

Thank you so so much, I appreciate the review endlessly!

A year is a long time to wait for a sign. It would create weariness. I feel that in your lines. You want some sunlight, some warmth. Sunflowers always make me feel better. Nice little write Colacat.

What an example of synchronicity: you speak of a year since something has been lost, and I have been going through the same experience. Thus, I can very much relate to this poem. The feelings are described quite accurately.

Thank you so much! Yes, we’re all hoping 2021 may be better!
