Someday, I'll write happier poems!
A Nameless poem
Peering into frothy lager, thoughts rush up my head
Things could be so different now, but here I am instead.
Her twinkling eyes, that radiant smile ... that turned many a thousand head
My crushed heart, the drowning cries ... can we please make amend?
Refusing to move on, I cling on to the happy memories past,
Standing aboard the sinking ship, I look up at its mast.
Did I act too quickly, or did I rush at her?
Was I too consumed in my own affairs ... and not feel her fear?
If I could wish for just one thing, I'd want to go back in time,
I'd try again, yet another time, just try to make her mine.
Or maybe I tried too hard, 'twas too much effort you see,
Clasped the water in my palms ... believing it would be with me!
Letting go of my baggage, can I ever again be the real me?
Life's biggest teachers leave scars for all to see.
