PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The dash-light flickered, then the phone cut through,  

A sharp little buzz in the middle of the blue.  

She reached for the console, but the distance was wide,  

So he grabbed it for her with a storm in his pride.  

One wrong word and the whole sky bled,  

Voices like fire from the things they said.  

A snap, then a swerve—gravity turned,  

Two rolls through the air as the pavement burned.  

Silence came heavy, breath hung by a thread,  

Grace pulled them back while the anger lay dead.  

They almost lost everything over nothing but pride,  

Over one ghost of a moment they should’ve let slide.

So let me say it honest, while the world feels new—  

The only thing haunting my heart is losing you.

I’m making my claim, I’m setting the pace,  

Running these miles just to stay in your grace.  

I’ll be the hunter, the shadow, the flame,  

Every season I’m proving the worth of your name.  

I’ll work for that smile that you wear when you sleep,  

Sowing the love that I’m blessed just to reap.  

I was built for your joy—yeah, it’s the breath that I use,  

You’re the one thing on earth I refuse to lose.  

You’re my hottest pursuit.

I’m chasing your heart for the rest of my days,  

From girlfriend to wife in a soft-burning haze.  

Too many lovers let the small things divide,  

Stacking up walls made of nothing but pride.  

You carried the weight when the flowers were few,  

Loved me through storms I never saw coming through.  

So hear me right now—till my heartbeat is gone,  

I’m running your way from the dusk to the dawn.  

I’m flawed, I’m human, but you’ll never be second,  

This love is my calling, the life that I’ve reckoned.

So let me say it honest, while the world feels new—  

The only thing haunting my heart is losing you.

I’m making my claim, I’m setting the pace,  

Running these miles just to stay in your grace.  

I’ll be the hunter, the shadow, the flame,  

Every season I’m proving the worth of your name.  

I’ll work for that smile that you wear when you sleep,  

I won’t leave this world with a secret to keep.  

I was built for your joy—yeah, it’s the breath that I use,  

Girl, you make me happy. You’re the life that I choose.  

You’re my hottest pursuit.
