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.
