Gone

Gone

A Poem by Douglas Levi Gribbins
"

Just assessing my thoughts

"

My 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.

They say love hurts but it's worth all the pain. Who knows though. But one thing that is for sure is that you're writing more mature stuff. These sound like they come from a young man rather than from a young boy. Well, it's a thoughtful piece.

Good as always.

I liked the fourteenth line.
