crystal tears : venting poetry

last call

so, this is where it all ends,

when I leave this building

our time is up

and you'll be gone.

my stomach churned

and my tongue went dry

as I looked down 

at the paper in my hands.

I went blank 

as your bright eyes 

pierced through me

for the last time.

I fully surrendered

and gave myself to you,

your bright brain

bewildered at the gesture.

as we exchanged words

I watched you turn around

and walk away

with my heart in your hands.

soon approached the storm

that lasted for a while

until the clouds cleared

and the starry night sky spoke.

you tossed the stone through the window

with a string of your words attached,

I sighed as I watched the tattoo pen

carve your name into my heart.

and there you are

right in front of my eyes,

smiling down the street

farther from me than ever.

and here I am

little time has passed

but my feelings

stayed the same.

one day I will calm

when I hear your name

and see your voice

but not anytime soon.

good luck and take care.
