One last time

One last time

 

It's quiet in here.

Too quiet.

It's very disturbing.

The darkness, the cold.

I want to scream.

 

I stare at your photograph,

Wishing you were still here.

To stand beside me

In the midst of the void

 

It has been two years

Ever since the accident;

But your memory is still with me

The way you look, the way you sound,

And the way you saved me.

I wish I was the one who died,

Instead of you.

 

Nothing means anything to me

Since you're not here by my side.

 

I want to hold you again,

For just one last time.

I want to feel you again,

Your lips on mine.

 

Even if just for a moment,

Even if just for this one last time.

A sad and beautiful story. I felt the desire and yearning to be with someone you have lost. I like the ending. A excellent poem.

the poem is sinmple yet it will remark to you. it's well written, and the last line gives some kind of echo in your head. 'even for just one last time'. even for that chance, that anyone wanted. good job. :)
