Someone StillA Poem by Julia Squires
Will I ever see
The sea again, Or climb another hill? If I ever reach The highest peak, Will I finally feel fulfilled? Spin for the fire, Spring for the fall... I ask to be answered, And not to ignore; I think it's a story, But there's always more war. Look for the lyre, Lie for them all... I know a few feelings, I've heard a few words, But the lyrics elude me, Escape from my ears. Mist in the mire, More for the song... I think I deserve this, But what can I earn? I try to desert this, But how can I burn? Ink for the iron, Ice all along... I live in a cavern, And a castle of stars; I'm a child undying, But I died before birth. Stay for the stunted, Same for the late... Will I always feel Unreal to touch, A ghostly girl inside? Will the words I keep, The worlds withdrawn, Come out from where they hide? Wish to be wanted, Winter will wait... I may not be much, But someone still loves... And if someone can love me, That's more than enough. © 2014 Julia Squires |
