The Shores of Alone

One more exercise in misery and I am done for awhile.  


Chasing Shadows

Today I bathe in shadows,
the sun obscured from view.
Slipping into darkness
all for the lack of you.

A longing in my heart
consumes my day with pain.
The hole of doubt looms larger,
like an incomplete quatrain.

What causes me to want you
when you're not free to be with me?
You did it, brought me to this space,
now all I feel is need.

Logic fails me daily,
though I know I waste my love.
My heart cares not to listen,
I still feel you are the one.

I'm waiting now, for your next move,
not sure what you will do.
It's too late now to stop this train,
it has to go on through...

WOW!!! You hit home with this one!  So well do I know this feeling.  I must say waiting is the WORST part.
Very well written

Peace


Once there was a darkness
Deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had
Ahhhhhh you gave me light

Terrific poem!    Yeah, waiting is never good is it?  And then the thoughts go round and round and round... and even more impatience sets in.  Loved reading it!

Yes I wrote of a train to, don't even remember what one it was, it dosen't matter now.
and I know what you are going through.
hang in there kid.
Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
