Poems From a Mad mind.

Poem 8

I  stood in the rain waiting for you

That rain turned to a downpour but I did not give

I watched you laugh and smile

I tried to speak but words never left my mouth

Or the words I wanted to speak

I never filled my words with venom and spite

Then lightning began to strike

Every time it would I looked for you to help

I saw you were better off

So I turned and began to walk in the rain

That’s when I heard your soft tears hit the floor

It was too late to turn back

The ground had already begun to flood

It carried me away as I fought to get back to you

When I managed to swim back

I saw you smiling and happy

Say I laid down and began to die

I could not cry any longer

I saw glimpses of you and I

I saw hope but that to soon drowned

One’s mind and heart can only take so much

I reached out for you but you did not see

You were busy with him

Now I was waiting to die

Death never came 

no matter how many times I called

So I closed my eyes to wait once more

I heard someone calling to me

I knew this voice well

It was not yours but another

One I had tried to push from my heart with no success

She remained there

She offered me her hand

I looked at you

I waited and waited

Then I took it.

 

We began to walk then I looked back

I saw you looking at me

I felt like I had betrayed you

You said something and I froze

I could not go or stay

Then I saw you in turn to face him

I looked away one last time.

Then walked away still wishing to see you again someday…
