My Dark Poems

Romeo

I stand

In an empty field

The sunshine

Glides across the grass

Allowing it to shimmer

Overwhelming my eyes

With brilliant white light

The wind blows my hair back

Lashing about like

Unruly flames

Romeo

Oh my Romeo

You have left me again

You abandoned me

In the field

You told me to forget

All that you are

Forget the times

We laughed

The times we smiled

The times your eyes

Held a special glint

There exotic shade

Pulling me in

To believe your lies

To embrace your disguise

Was a fault in my own

Mind

I seemed to want

To play your game

Romeo

Oh My Romeo

Where have you gone

Romeo

Oh My Romeo

Why was I not the one

Tears seem to stream

Like a flooding river

My gasps for breath

Seem to be hopeless

As I think of you once more

And repeat the process

You are my addiction

You are my drug

You are my distraction

I sometimes overdose

I always relapse

Maybe the problem

Was never

Me

The problem was everyone

Else was addicted to you

Too

Maybe

You just never wanted to fall for me

Maybe

You never saw me for who I am

Maybe

I was never enough to pull you in

Make you forget

Who you are

Just as you did

My lost Romeo
