PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You chase the world

I am not on your heels

and you don’t seem to notice

but after a while you turn my way

I’m still the one

who gets to sit here

and contemplate

I don’t get to run

I was a queen here

once

I broke the ground

with a silent sting

when you left

Follow,

they said

I followed the crown instead

I hung the sapphires on my wall

to forget

seeing you in the mirror

and so

with the blue glittering

I didn’t have to see myself

Maybe that’s

the whole point isn’t it

beaten broken and stirred

No matter how many ghosts

I choose to chain to your wall

you’re still alive

So you chase the world

I take the wheel

back from you

hoping I can find my track
