Poems: Gade 12- Present Day

Flights

I can still hear your voice as I drift to sleep...

Its so safe and I yearn for more but you're not here.

The same scent of your cologne settling,

Enveloped,

In the air like an invisible mist.

And I could try to pretend its not there

But it would just remain stained in my brain.

The memory stuck to me.

I dont know maybe this all sounds crazy

All I know is that ever since you left

I just miss you.

As I lay against my bed, you appear.

In my bed, our arms held eachother close.

Afraid that even if you let go for a second....

You'd never come back.

Like when we escaped the dungeon,

And ran to the castle.

Danced in the dark,

The moonlight applauded.

And the stars shot off.

And I felt so inevitable

But as the night concluded I could only

Think back to the beginning of this take off

Where I promised you that past relationships

I could be different and you could trust me too.

I wanted to harvest that look in your eye

The look was refreshing and I saw a chance

But soon enough I blinked and your eyes became shrouted

In the dark clouds mine gave away

Your smile faded like the smoke

And time took its place and a deadline was made

Tomorrow he would fly away.

But I took a chance and looked once more

And saw that tint glimpse of hope in your eye

And the tranquility of your lips pushed everything away

I dont understand how you left

And I feel myself getting closer to you

Like this time apart would give us clarity

And I could prove myself to you.

Am I still awake?
