PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The air was so cold. This place was so lonely. I stood kneeling in the cold hard grass. Everything around me silent. Tears falling endlessly down my face. each tear like a knife cutting into my skin. My hand up against the cold hard stone. Feeling the indentations of every letter. It was so cold and yet I felt nothing. I only felt the pain and suffering. Every life form in my body seems to scream in agony. My clothing swirled around me. The fabric of my dress so alluring that I can almost recollect memories of you. Black lace, silk tapestry, shattered hopes and skin razor blade tears float gently on the breeze. I looked around it was sunset. The sun was bleeding into the sky. Three months ago I would?ve never entered this place. A place of sorrow, mourning and depression. A Graveyard. But I had to. Something wakes me in my sleep. Taunting me in my every dreary moment. The gate creaked as I opened it. Something watches me from a far world though very near in sight. I stepped into a circle of trees. It's so familiar as though I've lived it before. I know this sadness. Your still there. The forest held its breath for me. And I could feel prying eyes upon me once again. I didn't want to turn around. But I blinked and my body took control. There you were. Invisible tears were falling now. I tried to turn and run but I couldn't. This can't be real. It's another dream. Another dream of you coming back to me. Your not real. You can't be your.....

Dead??

Had I said that aloud? No, it was you.

?Am I dead to you?? you said your whispery voice so soft and cool.

You'll never be dead to me, but I don?t know if this is real or not.? I said half chocking on my words half crying and half trying to sound as real as I could.

I had to see you one more time. whispering as though it were the biggest secret.

Why?? I said.

But you didn?t answer me. You came so close to me that I almost jumped back in fear. But then I saw what I needed to see all along. The comfort in your eyes to tell me what I needed to know. Your face was so close to mine, those soft lips that I once knew were inches away. My fingers brushed your lips trying to remember their scent, taste and texture. You took my hand and grabbed it and rested it on your shoulder. Then you pulled me in and kissed me. Your lips were so sweet and warm. Why do you taunt me so? Your hands went to the lace of my dress. I held back. I was so confused. I knew this wasn?t right. It wasn?t going to take the pain away. But I couldn?t resist I missed you too much. You looked into my eyes just then, and I took in every one of your features. Your unnatural silver eyes that always flashed when you smiled. Your dark brown hair that I was now running my hands through. Everything about you was perfect to me, everything about you I loved. You brushed a piece of my curls away from my face. A memory flooded back into my mind, of when you used to play with my hair and tell me of how lucky I was to have such gorgeous hair. I pulled you closer to me. But you gave me more. I started to drown in the deepest of kisses. You pulled me down putting your hands all over my body. I knew I shouldn?t have but I did, I just couldn?t hold back anymore. My body longed for yours. I loved the way you felt pressed against me, so strong and safe. My hands started exploring your body as you pulled me further down onto the forest floor. For those few moments you made all the pain go away. As I we laid together in a sort of fantasy like dream world that I hoped would never go away, I felt totally at peace with the world. Your breaths at the same rate as mine. Your smooth skin right against mine was all I could feel. It should?ve lasted forever. But I knew it wouldn?t. Before I knew it you were gone. Leaving me once again. Cold and hungry. I lay there on the forest floor for what seemed like forever. I didn?t want to get up. But something made me. I got up as though I was a machine told and ordered to do what I didn?t want to. The wind blew oh so suddenly, something whispered on it. Telling a secret to my ears.

?You haunt me.?
