Elusive You


See, it's Friday
and disappointment waits
between the lines
of poetic thoughts and darkened dreams
where winter walks
will be colder to the touch
of the sweetest of desires.

I have no impact and feel
the ugliness that comes with aging,
the sagging ego,
the wrinkled memories
crumpled from over seeing the past,
going borderline crazy
decisionless but trying
serenading myself with "why me".

And then there is love
whose definition
is beginning to escape me.
And so for you
I am becoming that ghost,
that phantom:

A no physical reality me
with an ever elusive you.

M

Im right with you at the border,tho when one toe passes over it,it is sometimes freeing

Ya' know sweet M that I pray for you find peace, joy and courage. But dang it you just keep writing pain so well. Fine, I double dog dare you to write an romantic piece just to prove you know...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Ouch, this one aches to the heart. Powerful words, I'm glad I didn't miss this. Hope you're doing well...

Always, Alyssa
