GoneA Poem by Douglas Levi GribbinsJust assessing my thoughtsMy world starting shrinking I tried my best to fight it I don’t know what had happened Don’t know how the match was lighted Tried my best to cure my own burns Left by my own doubts But as soon as the fire turned My entire thinking was froze out Was content with having no one Was good with being lonely But as soon as love was gifted to me It felt like it had owned me. What’s supposed to happen when i’m out of this place? How am I supposed to return home when my “Home” is misplaced? Loving someone is a road that hurts you with every step that you take And when you reach the end, you take trust with you as you go the other way. Which never equals good, in fact So I’ll look to the horizon, while my mind remains intact. © 2015 Douglas Levi Gribbins |
