Message to my PastA Poem by Tyler James MathiesonMy first attempt at sensory poetry
I walk on through this fog and stumble at the curb
My flesh is feeling numb and I've frayed my last nerve Dragging up the drive with dread filling my heart My heart and mind feel so very far apart My feet blindly test the sidewalk I can no longer see Nothing there is clear with tears upon my cheeks I try to keep my path straight and narrow too I'm only just outside but that doesn't concern you My stomach it is sinking it must be on the ground My ears have just shut off and I cannot hear a sound I finally reach the door and my hands are madly shaking I try to find my nerve, a bravery I am faking I reach inside my bag for the purpose I am here My hands clasp the page and my heart is drown in fear For on the note that I will leave upon this door Is the message that has shaken me to my very core The writing is simple and it is not drawn out On this path strewn with betrayal I took the direct route I will nail this to your door and then I will just leave I will move on from my past, to you I no longer cleave You will read this note standing in the morning dew "I just cannot forgive because I'm still in love with you" © 2012 Tyler James Mathieson |
