PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Today is a quiet shadow of what yesterday used to be
The days seem to fly by even though I am moving much more slowly.
Memories remind me of a time when life was wild
When climbing trees seemed easy through the adventures of a child

Steams and rivers, skipping rocks
I like to revisit my youth through the delicate embrace of such thoughts
What today is now is a battle for life
simply paying the bills as time passes me by

The small things I cherish seem so hard to find
It is not the hunt now, its an overwelming loss of time
Sitting here I realize that I HAVE lived
That my life in all, has been so big

But, here I am at the junction of yesterday and tomorrow and I can't move
Afraid to begin a new adventure, of what I have to lose.
This path is different though, I wont be alone
you'd think that 'd make it easier, but alone is all I've known.

I have made all decisions myself, and paid for what was due
We are so different how do I share these and all decisions with you?
How do I let down the walls to let you in,
when I have spent my life building them up and hiding within?

My trust is faulty like the design of most things,
And I can't even begin to share what our relationship brings
All of the trials that we have already seen
the tears and the pain, how do I get over these things

Even now, I sit here hollowed inside
Feeling empty and lost, why can't I just hide
Why do you love me when you want to still play
Why make promises to break when you could just walk away?
