What do you want from me?
I didn’t ask for this.
I didn’t ask for you!
Leave me be!
Walking through life
alone and free.
Happy in my plight
peaceful quiet nights.
In you walk
full of spitfire
life.
A ray of sunshine
silence broken
laughter in the night
Why me?
Why not him
or her?
Anyone else
A companion make.
There is the dog!
Please go
for Godsakes!
What do you want from me?
Why can’t I breathe?
You’re coming closer….
Please….
don’t leave.

The words were out
No taking them back

A short pause of disbelief
and you were gone

When the world holds its breath
and life seems at an end
should we be prudent and wait
or should we throw caution to the wind

and step forward into the unknown

This is a very clever story by a friend of mind that is worth a read. If it were up to me I would call it Hear Me. 🙂
I see you.
Do you see me?
Do you know who I am
or have you forgotten?
Did our time together
mean so little?
Did I?
What did I miss?
Was there some sign
that I did not recognize
telling me time spent
was time wasted?
I see you,
will you please see
me.

via Daily Prompt: Overwhelming
Everything, everywhere
All at once
Never ending barrage
Of negativity, woes
Pushing, pulling
Stretching too thin
Overwhelming until one day
There is no more to say
No more to do
No more to give
Done

One look
One utterance
and the devastation left behind
will forever
stain my soul

Someday
I will walk
where no one has walked before
Someday
I will keep that promise
given so long ago
Someday
when the rain stops
and the sun shines bright
I will smile again
Someday
I will tell you how I feel
what you mean to me
why I need you
why you need me
Someday….

All it takes is
a turn of the head
a parting of lips
you crumple
fall
and in the end
are mine.

Breathe
before it’s to late
Breathe
allow the chaos to abate
Breathe
I will wait
Breathe
Whatever it takes
try to remember
when your world starts to break
Breathe
