PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

my head rolls over mountains. so high in the clouds, dancing with the gods. hold me as you would aphrodite so maybe i can feel you want me. don’t play like i never asked you to stay, like i never begged you to stay. never fell through the floor while trying to find the strength to pray on my knees. i never had you no matter what you tell me. you were never mine to hold. what am i but a shadow? just passing through the light at noon. seeping down the sycamore trees, so how should i know the breeze? i cannot express the sorrow i feel. i have so much heart in me and no way to communicate it. i want to cry but i can’t find the right time. not now. not with everyone around. they’d come asking the matter and i’d say it was the earth’s constant rotation. first they’d smile,  then walk away, head in tail. not understanding the severity. the heaviness that swallows me whole. i am alone in this universe, crumbling into the moon’s craters. won’t you please save me this time? i can feel the staleness in the air.  everything is put on hold while you’re gone. i'm not a person and you are not anything. you are my foot falling through the air, as i take one step too many up the stair. a quick trip and a fright, i realize it was all my fault for getting ahead of myself. you are the butterflies stomping in my stomach. no matter how much i drink, you are still thumping around waiting for me to scream you out. you are a hundred, million, brazillion miles from me. my mind is stretched to its limit. it is always me against the world. against you, against me. i am always the one whimpering in bed. torturous expectations lead me to the casket. its always me for dead. left in the darkest corner or the sky.

how can i tell the moon to come back home without leaving the whole sky barren?
