PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Silence lingers as my eyes swell up

Only my cries amplify the room

I’ve tried so hard to let you go

My tears create a never-ending flume



So many emotions, I just can not convey

You’re gone, I’m gone, I don’t want to look back

I can’t even admit to myself, the words I need to say

So I’m living in a made-up world, casting shadows of black



Smiling to hide the tears in my eyes

Laughing to drown out my cries

Running, from you, my biggest fear

Or just running away to get away from here



This point that I’m at, I can not progress

Your memory haunts me like an immoral fiend

Tearing down my mind, demonically undressed

Lashing in my head, leaving it corrupted, demeaned



Alone, here I complacently weep

But my eyes this time, are dry

Visions of you in paradoxical sleep

Haunting memories that will not die
