Highest Achievement - #7 in poetry [Oct 3, 2016]
~Nostalgia~
It's delicate, but potent.
The pain from an old wound.
A twinge in your heart..
Far more powerful than memory alone
A feeling of a place
Where we...
Ache
To
Go
Again.
-My thoughts. My word...

Back wheels whir under my seat Playin' in my ears is strange beat
I set my chin against soft leather It's getting cold, outside weather
Dense fog is kissin' the lead road Everythin' is hidden like barcode
I can't make out world passin' by Nonetheless, I strive to give it try
Lights flashin' into the unknown I think about our days long gone
They mix into tears on my cheek I keep looking outside, it is bleak
My weak eyes make out shadows Into thick fog, I see broken vows
The haze's makin' me slow down I cry! what made me leave town?
You know, it's hurtin' me to leave I'm killing all the dreams I weave
Slowly, I shatter like never before Emptiness haunts me to my core
It fades away in fog at heavy cost My past's becoming a hauntin'... . . . g h o s t . . .
Author's Note
I'm still on the highway and now, I'm listening to 'Ghost' by Halsey. It's a full moon night, I guess. I can't tell exactly but yeah, I see a full moon. ♡♥
Also, I had my chin against the leather by the window and there's fog all around my car. So..the strange idea struck my mind and I wrote this poem in which the person is leaving the town in fog. It's a metaphorical poem as well where the fog may represent the confusion that he/she is facing after leaving the hometown. Leaving the past behind...
I can't explain because I'm feeling kind of sick. My head reels. I hope you understand what I meant originally. Moreover, we nearly met an accident while I was typing the second last verse. However, we're safe. Don't worry. Keep prayin' for me. Thanks. :')♡
