Light-YearsA Poem by Scott LeeYou seemed to vanish into light-years
right before my eyes
showed the world how you felt
made a statement with my tears
vicious determination
and haunting whispers to my ears
I never knew it would be like this
you never held the world in high regard
decimated and alone
I turned around too late
and you vanished without a trace
you dug the needle in your veins and burned me in the ground
why do thoughts of you bombard me every haunting day
why does unrest remain coffin tight
wish I could rush into light-years
to spend a little time
vanish without a trace
leave the dark world far behind
pour my heart out like a river
and
cross the vanished bridge of reason sense and rhyme
I'm dying in this shadow
I'm nailed to tortured cross
I feel the lightning reaching closer
I hold the storm with no release
midnights seem so lonely when I'm talking to you friend when sleep has abandoned me when I can't accept the end
you vanished into light-years now you hoover above my dreams
I can't hear the ticks of time
I can't see between the lines when there's no books for me to read
the crossroads appear so empty
the sun so far away
but I hold you in my heart old friend
with a undying fire
forever to remain...... © 2012 Scott Lee |
