PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Bittersweet Twilight

midnight comes in shades of bittersweet
hues pleading to turn back weary days
colors that beg to undo the last big mistake
this reckless heart of mine has made

porch light confessions ever validating
whispered ardor forgotten as quickly
as the longed for words had came to be
forever lost somewhere within a life time
of chasing unrealized dreams

aching truth bleeds from the cracked stars
that hold my wishes and deny my desires
but my heart doesn’t answer to the stars
broken or whole nor does it answer to
the questioning gaze of an ambiguous moon

still, here I am once again pondering and unraveling
time already spun, dissecting each word spoken
looking for any reason that makes sense to cling too
but nothing but a chill is creeping across my heart
denying there was ever anything real between our souls

I have never been a true friend of dawn
but right now these star speckled skies
see everything I'm trying so desperately to hide
forsaking me absolution in any form

and I could never hold my breath
long enough in the dark to really hear
all the secrets echoing across the ages anyways
leaving nothing here tonight
that could save me from my own truth
and I know that means all that there is left
for me to do, is to learn to be content with that
