PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

November creeps into my awareness on this stormy day
and though my heart belongs to the rain
I can’t help but feel a little at odds with it all
I guess its that old adage
everything I thought I knew
….I didn’t

somehow I have come to
an impasse in my life
where nothing makes sense
even the words coming out of my mouth
most of the time
simply confuse me
not the words as much
as the emotion behind them

and then there are your words
that wrap around my soul
in tight little tendrils
pushing the breath out of my lungs
suffocating my soul
leaving four words lingering
on tear soaked lips..
“but I love you”

while you whisper
over and over
everything is okay

I just don’t get it
what is this disconnect I feel
this loss of self and you
where am I at these days
and why do I keep
blaming you

If you read this
please don’t take the words
at face value
but accept them as
an apology
for so much
simply
lost in translation
