PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Reasons why, I can’t decipher

Through the smoke I think I see you

Like an ember floating from the fire

And I wonder, if your lonelier now, than you were

And I wonder now, why you wander so far from warmth

As if there was something more



Lately, I pray that though you haven’t come down

That when you do, I’ll be around to catch you



Do you know something I don’t

Are you wiser beyond years than anyone thought

Are you scared when you’re not strong

Or do you just take it in stride

And say to yourself: “It’s only life. I’ll get by.”



Like in the old days, wide-eyed

We thought we knew all there was to know

Unaware of the passing signs

As we were lightly covered in the falling snow

We missed the chance to fall in love



Sometimes I think you did ignite that light inside of me

Sometimes I wonder if the stones ever threw my spark toward you



Did they, and you’re just not saying



Do you know something I don’t

Are you wiser beyond years than anyone thought

Are you scared when you’re not strong

Or do you just take it in stride

And say to yourself: “It’s only life. I’ll get by.”
