Yellow No. 2

Recently, I took a poetry challenge and created a similar poem - this is the revision which is much longer than expected but still - a cathartic experience as always.

 

Wearing my yellow shirt

Makes me feel alright

Accentuating my positive

Yet, I still feel lost in the crowd

Both of us wandering aimlessly

Finding each other

Two loveless souls

Torn and tattered

Finding solace in each other

Irreparable damage

Begins to repair itself

Yet, our time was cut short

Leaving me yearning for more

Frenetically I search

Yet the patience becomes lost

In the delay to your response

I decided to bury my anger

Deep within my soul

Heeding the advice

To shine with kindness

I followed your cue

Yet, I still don't know

What to do with this shoe

Shall I wear it in

Remembrance of you?

Instead I will remember the day

You told me this true and deep connection

However rare it is

No ordinary friendship

Connected by our disconnection

Restless sleep

Intimidated by the monster

Unknowing response

Fighting something bigger

Than both of us can bear

Unable to stop

Unable to see

Unwilling to bend

Hearts on the mend.

Could this be obsession

I think not.

This is a dope piece here....it's got confidence, but not too much. And excellent yellow shirt!
