Waking Smile
Poetry from my younger years, I have always wanted to share. About the tumultuous journey that finding, keeping & being in love brings.
You invaded my thoughts
When I pushed them aside.
You invaded my dreams
when I thought they had died.
You can use me, abuse me
Fall in lust and need me too.
If you ever love me
I promise no tears for you.
An endless night
A change of seasons.
Asking all the questions
Without ever finding reasons.
Waking with a smile
One I thought had disappeared.
It made me think
You were all I needed.
Scared of the future
And fearing the past.
The past is stagnant like a river
Speeding into the future too fast.
Your presence feels like sparklers
Your resonance
Your touch.
Didn't need to love you
I didn't need to want you this much.
This road feels kind of endless
Like it will never end.
But still, I missed you by meer seconds
Now you've moved on without a trace.
Could I have changed anything?
Poetry is something that never seems to age. When it comes to poetry about love, the feelings imposed from finding it and losing it can repeat for a lifetime. The best poetry about love comes from the brokenhearted.
