Here's my poem, Thank you:
*I still see you*
Watch you fade
Watch you drift away
You lie there
Its not fair
When your heart stopped
Mine froze
Time stopped
Too long ago
I cried
(I still) cry
I denied
(I quit) the denial
My heart hurts though
Still missing you
I cry as I fall to the ground
I lay myself down
Finally my eyes shut
Holding only myself
Months I slept like this
Months I felt alone
Months I was depressed
I would fake a smile
(I lied)
(No one knew)
The Truth
One night
I slept
In my dream
You appeared
I was scared
So, you walked away
I hated that I was afraid
More months passed
How long would this last?
More months passed
I finally moved on with out you
But still remembering
One A.M.
I woke up
Felt like a normal day
Walk out of my room
I saw you
I wasnt scared when I saw
It felt like I never lost you at all
Like you never left me
We were happy.
You smiled
I walked passed you
I smiled too
You Followed
I sat down at my desk
You Followed
I sat
Worked on my homework
You sat
Occasionally I would look
At your sweet eyes
You didnt speak
But you told me
Everything is going to be all right
I was overjoyed
I thought to myself
Good dog
I awoke
I thought
Just maybe
It wasnt a dream
Just maybe
A visitation
Just maybe
It wasnt gbye
Just gnight
For a while
Hopefully
Just Maybe.
