PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

trying to be strong

i wanted to let you go

until i heard your voice

and for once, you spoke

giving more reason to hold on

weaving words skillfully

in my ear they danced

leading me to believe

that you really want this

all because i shut down

and shut you out, briefly

and it was good

and i smiled again

remembering you from before

thinking good is to come

something sent to me

something to ease my discontent

to quell my frustrations

and so again i'll wait

and let you speak to me

because i'm tired of talking

and i want more.
