why i

why i

A Poem by aftervision
"

a poem of love

"

folded arms

meets crossed legs

open spirit

for the first time begs

 

why am i alone

with you by my side

why do i show you all

except for what i am forced to hide

 

silver tongue

no longer works for us

because we have leaked away

all of our trust

 

charge it to the mind

that rest behind the eye

as i try to answer my own question

why i

 

after vision

I have soooo missed reading your words Poet. Such a melancholy feeling. Unanswered questions always leave doors that cannot be closed.

Why I...
Gets you thinking, do doubt.
I like the structure, and the flow. Very provocative poem.

Your writing leaves me questioning "why I" in my own situation. So excited to read you again.
