Absence

Folder: 
Dark/Pain Poems

Sleeping awake and I reminiscence
I feel peaceful and as if I needed to think
Where can I walk without been empty?
I feel the absence of the spirit

I sit, think and I conclude the rank I stand
The “I” in every phrase so selfish I state
I am never where I would like to be
The purpose in life was lost indeed

Happiness goes, melancholy comes
I need a hand of guidance in this time of loss
A mentor I can count on and listens to my confusion
The absence of a true friend whom I can explain my delusion

Express the emotions and feelings of my heart
Relief from this heavy load, humans must stand alive
Love is circulating through my veins
However she is absent in every step I take
