apersonaljourney – stories of love

Afraid to go back there anymore

a memory of when,

why this exists here today,

and the questions will now land

a soft thud upon the ground,

the moment gone,

energy sucked into the vaporous

nature of a hidden cavity

of angst and pain and silent

confusion.

~

I wanted to go back there

love the memory

the times we could together,

and then that sharp pain,

a jab in my side,

blood is still in tact, hasn’t begun to pour yet.

~

There is a standstill with pain,

a thoughtful reflection

now stained with the grief of my cries,

for it was then we held each other close,

the world around us didn’t matter

but we did,

the two of us eyes in eyes,

we only felt the beauty of our time

to be the moment,

this moment so far away today.

~

I cannot return anymore, though I wish I might

while today I wait, I consciously wait.
