PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The scarlet dreams of yesterday

       fell into a state of disillusion

I felt a deep regret that burned me

                    to my soul

I thought of you so distant from me

looking on with slow smiles then cool

                          glances

I really had no idea what to make

                                of that

I reached out my hand for you but

          you turned the other way

I just sat down and tried to figure

                                you out

There was no rhyme or reason

                      for our failure

I wondered if I said anything to turn

                                  you off

It seemed like that night had come

                   to an abrupt end

I’ll think of you even though I probably

                      shouldn’t even care

Daydreams turn into nightdreams but

Nothing ever amounts from it

I supposed it’s really all up to you

How do you feel and can we carry on

                       for another day?

I’ll be anxious to find out a few answers

Meanwhile I’ll sink into another dream

           of how it might have been
