A Love(ly) Struggle.A Poem by Tiarra Templeton
Razor sharp, glass has shattered
Puzzle pieces make things better My insides ache to turn back time Clinging to my dreams forever What doesn't kill you makes you stronger But what you live with hurts more than death The salty waters fall all around me And I can feel my lungs hold my breath I'm picking through pieces of my mind Recycling words that were left unsaid The world gets so loud when I try to think And FM static always fills my head With all this thought comes wasted time Yet no time for needed hunger and fun I'm replacing what's needed with 'the death of me' And an unknowing poison fills into my lungs A numbness starts to slowly set in But it burns like a winter's frostbite Walking alone out into the darkness Who's to say you're coming home tonight? I'm sorry is all that I can give you And all I hear are apologies in return There's a fire of ice lingering in your eyes And I can't walk away watching it burn The telephone's been calling these numbers It's trying to find a way back to the start And, with time, I find there's no way to reach you There's not a number to place a call to your heart © 2010 Tiarra Templeton |
