Everything

Everything

A Poem by Jessica Lima

No words,

No inspiration,

No pain,

No desperation.


I sit still so long

My skin turns cold.

And I try to remember

The days of old.


My stomach growls

When it's lunch time,

Reaching into my pocket

I take out a dime.


What can it buy?

Nothing.

What I feel inside?

Nothing.


People walk by

They nod at me.

I copy the gesture

And they let me be.


But then he walked in.

Asking questions,

Making suggestions,

Drawing me in...


His warmth reached my heart

And everything melted away.

When I thought it was over,

He promised he would stay.


My mind is still a blank page

Because I don't know who I am.

There is still no words or

Inspiration, or pain or desperation.


But there is HIM.

and to me,

Insignificant me...

He is everything.

I'm kind of a big dork. Very, VERY geeky. I love poetry, and that's 90% of what I write. Life is chaos, and Poetry... isn't. It is something you can control, that's why my poetry always rhymes. I love.. more..
