PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I breathe softly 

When I inhale, my lungs shutter 

They feel my agony 

But I exhale your name

And my lungs cry for clean air 

My pillow filled with my sobbing

This sea of blankets can’t hide me forever 

Your false hope interrupted my dreams 

Dreams of being heard 

A nightmare of regret 

This slumber isn’t the same for me

Let me wake 

I want to feel what’s real

So I won’t dream of your trickery love 

I desperately wail for someone to wake me

But my breath is bound to the nothingness 

Let me cry myself to sleep

Where the pain is real

I can remember what you’ve done to me

Where I can reminisce where love existed 

I beg the night sky to carry me to clouds of sleep

When I believed in the good of people

Where I was loved 

How at peace my breathing was 

As I slip downward to this nightmare now

I scream to the night sky 

Let the stars rescue me

Take me to the clouds

Where I can finally rest 

And I can see you from afar 

Sleeping in peace
