A poem I wrote a year ago

May 24, 2016 1:51am CST
"Gone" The night has been so wrong It felt so right for one good song And as the melody played on I think of happy days long gone What was it like, under the light? If there we stayed, is it alright? Nobody said a word that night We all just faded out of sight Sealed in silence, wired in prayers We made a vow never to part ways I used to cling tightly to “Always” But now it stops after the long chase One step forward creates the past Plain and simple, nothing lasts when moments pass, they turn to dust At times I pray the longing stops

@dudibelles - thats why I asked, are you still missing them? It seems so, thats the great thing about poetry it never changes the mood.

@Inlemay I still do. We haven't been together in years. We only stay connected online. We get updates but that's all. Yes, it's like you can always lock emotions in poetry and make it last through time :)
