Brave Poetry

An End

No, I don't think you understand,

This complication that I am

How I love to be alone,

But never lonely,

Always dreaming of a better tomorrow,

But never seeking nothing,

And how I never speak,

Until it doesn't matter,

And how I leave my heart in tatters,

This never unending cycle,

Will it ever stop?

I want peace, but where do I start?

I'm still wandering in the dark

Moving blindly in this room

So dark and cold, like a tomb

"Help me," I say

Because that's all I know to do

And then I bump into you

You don't notice me at first

Ignoring me you walk away,

I'm used to it, I say

Then you speak,

Stop it! You yell

You can have so much more than this cell

This wall, this cave, you built is temporary

Temporary? Is it really?

I've been here for so long, wandering alone

Can I eventually win?

And you softly say, yes

Because all beginnings have their ends.
