PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Once, I lay down on the grass

And gazed up at the sky

And saw the face of one I loved

In memories, alive.

I closed my eyes and thought

Of all the things I'd done

The way I ran away from love

And hid behind a mask.

Now that you're gone,

There's nothing but

The times

We left behind...

And so, I look up at the clouds

And see the heavens smile.

While tears blur the world around me

I give a slight, faint smile too.

Because I know exactly why

The sun is shining down on me,

And all the memories and dreams

Of all the things 

                        That could have been.
