![]() 2/8/19A Poem by Andre Peterson
This is right.
This where my heart should be. Beneath steps that are hidden behind the street. While lowlifes imitate gentlemen. I am ignoring my basic needs. No such distain like hers has ever compelled me. My sight darker than it was the year before. I am often seen pouring my glass of water out before me. There's no justice in sleeping in hopes of sweet dreams. Waiting for you and me with no barriers in between. A stadium could mock and jeer and have hate surround us. I'll always watch you go as you leave looking ashamed of what could be. And with sadness I blanket my shoulders. I bury my head as deep as I can. At this point everyone's had a chance to reach out their hand. I'll stay as silent as the hurt will let me. Writing words that won't make sense until they are all thats left of me. I never was one to hide intentions. I never was one to carry around afflicting themes. © 2019 Andre Peterson |
