PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

You were my self-sustaining nourishment

My unintentional departure from the innocence I never understood

Until the moment my decision forced me to

And now I'd give anything to hold that moment again

And fight the strength that gave me the courage to reach out for you

Cause since, no physical quality has grown from the memory

And I've hardly the intellect to understand the consequence of myself



Now the waters are swelling

And the moon is pulling familiarity further away

And I'm not sure I ever loved you

Except in terms of visual sensation

And in terms of vanity's own well-keeping



You were like a little egg in the canopy's nest

So innocent yet so vulnerable to the changing direction of the wind

But the feathers span never found the opportunity to flourish

And as the storm raged against security

Flight's possibility found itself falling towards the ground

And now it's too late to resuscitate hope's heart

As it tumbles towards defeat and away from defense



Here the pieces lie

Hear the wordless cry echo off the walls

If for nothing else than trying to communicate

The foreign sounds of innocence



Now the waters are swelling

And the moon is pulling familiarity further away

And I'm not sure I ever loved you

Except in terms of visual sensation

And in terms of vanity's own well-keeping
