PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Running away from a reality

The one that I refuse to let be

I shut my eyes

Pray that I go blind



Hide my heart from this pain

Whispers, in corners,

He’s going insane



I still relive the memories

I’m always there

Can’t stand to be here

Do you remember

Do you



The park, the hotel

My name is Tom Hook

I’ll draw you a dozen roses

I even proposed within a poem

The trips to the cabin,

The plane to Disney

And the trip to Vegas



Or maybe you recall ice-covered Niagara

Getting stopped by the cop

For speeding coming back

Then there were the two-day trips

That we spent in Atlantic City



These days all replay in my mind

Then I see me crying

Seeing all those wires

On her little body

Running away, unable to deal

Praying to God this ain’t real

She has to live

The both of you



So much time

Can I get it back

Without you two I know

There is a major part of me

That is lacking

I keep asking

I keep asking

Help me

My family

I’m stripped

Vulnerable

You’ve never seen me this naked

Easy to hurt

Can you resist

Is the revenge the push you need

In order to twist

Twist my heart

Till I’m broken



You know you have the power

You call the shots

I’m waiting for the hour

That I can be a father

Be a husband

Be a friend

Like I always said

I love you

Always and forever

Until the end
