Free verse poem written ages ago

~~

It has been awhile

since the date has passed.

I still remain inside the time loop

that is today.


Tearing pieces of tomorrow,

counting the chances I have yet to borrow.

Maybe it's just an illusion,

maybe I'm just afraid.


Hoping you'll read all the letters

I've yet to send your way.

Have you ever thought in anguish,

assumed you've done all right, then vanished?


Is it just my distraught delusion

that you've taken pieces of tomorrow?

Have you thought of redeeming your error?


Perhaps I'm ever so silly to fret

you might look back and regret,

that the shreds of your life spent with me

will never really set you free.


~~
