PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It doesn’t get easier
To dream in darkness without you
It seems impossible to breathe
Reading lines without a cue

I will succeed from oblivion
Find a way off the cursed mattress
To smile when the world breaks apart
To be convincing actress

My audience waits impatiently
Demanding a quick recovery
The lights you shine from behind them
Are burning brightly blinding me

The show for you had long but ended
I sit forlorn on a dark stage
Where you taught me to dance and sing
You’re the star on another person’s page

The nights alone seem louder
The memories drown my soul
An empty stage a forgotten love
Eyes painted dark as coal

I water the flower on the stage
It but died no longer will it stand
Outside into the light you fled
A pressed flower in your hand

As I watch you walk hand in hand
Away from me into the earth
A flower blooming new love
The thorns wrapping around my heart

An empty stage
The spot fades to black
A wilted flower and a memory
No lines left
