Reading Poetry

Reading poetry when I should be sleeping

Brings me back to every gentle scene I'm mourning

And I'd sacrifice it all one last time to do it all again with you

Go to hell and back, ride to the stars, the moon and back with you

Each pause between words is as blank as I feel

I knew this day could come but I never thought it'd be real

Letting you go like giving up the last slice of an almost paradise

Got me feeling caught up in a mid life paradigm 

It wasn't easy, loving with the fire I did

But that's how I was raised to be as a kid

My father said find one and commit to her if you love her

And I could never lie about about that night, now it's just a blur

All familiar signs lead me back home

Problem is, you're the only home I've ever known

Holding you to my chest, brushing your hair with my hand

Eyes wide, heart open, you were my very own promised land

Now I'm Reading poetry when I should be sleeping

I called you too many times just because I forget in the morning

That you left and you told me not wait up for you any longer

Every day I try, and ever night it gets harder to just get stronger

Every time I read your work, I swear they are songs.. your writing inherently has such masterful rhythm and flow.. and then you have these original, clever, tongue-in-cheek phrases laced in with a conversational style ideal for an indie/songwriter or alt/punk genre... to extract all the lines I like in this piece I will have to come back another time.. too much time copying pasting everything I like is like sitting next to that annoying person in class highlighting every stinkin line in their textbook.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy all of my pieces! I try really hard for that rhythm and flow, so it's nice to hear I succeed. I'll have to read more of your work, I've been reading a lot, but I keep forgetting to review. Typical me haha

You express your emotions really well. Your words are heart touching and creative.
