Trapped against a wall
Without any escape route to be seen
Darkness falls with yet another day passing by.

Another wasted day spent here
The soul’s becoming weaker
The fire of her heart slowly dying.

Shunned by her family and peers
Without a friendly face to aid her
She spend her days in the lonely corner.

Grasping desperately onto the edge of the cliff
She felt her fingers slipped and let go of hope
Falling deep into the never ending bottom never to be seen.

A stark, blank, white wall stared back at me,
Unblinkingly and unwaveringly like those of a moon,
Cold and unforgiving.

Restlessness shifts through the pages of tired thoughts,
With only the fear of waking up to face the bittersweet sorrow,
A sorrow so great it reveals the longing and love beneath.

I’m close to breaking down,
Would my life be the same again without you?
For it’s you I miss.

Life means nothing if not spent with you,
Close to your sweet smell of soap and aftershave,
I even missed the way you ate!

But now that you’re gone,
The thought of you is all that ever comes to mind,
On these long, lonely endless nights.

Why did I carry on when you’ve stopped?
Why did I run when you walked?
Why did I not want you when all you want is me?

The day I turned and left, was the day I regret,
For what I had, I did not see,
The love we had was more than gold.

Now that months have passed with us leading our own lives,
Somehow underneath it all seemed unreal,
For you are mine no more…

I’d really like to write a poem,
But can’t find anything to write.
My mind is blank, for I do not know.
There is nothing good in sight.
So I’ll write about what I can’t think of.
Or can’t seem to get to rhyme.
This is beginning to get tough.
But guess what I just realized.
I just wrote a real, non-rhyming poem.
And I didn’t even know it!
And now everybody will know
That I am just not a poet!
