Short poems

To a lost love

My eyes will search for you

Whenever I open them

Silly enough to forget you left

My ears still listen

Even though your words are long gone

And all you left is silence

My lips still remember the way you tasted

As if you just kissed them

But all I’m able to do is whisper your name

My heart still aches

Remembering your eyes

Drowning in to you

And my soul will forever miss yours

The first time I understood the word home

To my first heartbreak

I take a bow and

Stay forever grateful

To loving you then

Even though

We didn’t last

I embrace

The memories

Of my shattered heart

Broken

But yet stronger than ever

I ache for you

Holding me

Belonging

I blame the world

Still

For never giving us that chance

Even though

It was our greatest desire

I take a bow

To letting you go

Still knowing

Deep down

You never left

To my first love

Your face

Still haunts me

So does

The sound of your voice

Still echoing in the back of my mind

Your words still hurt me

Even though

We haven‘t spoken in years

So why

Do I hear your voice 

Still echoing in the back of my head

Your love

Was never enough

So why is there still a spark

Of undying hope

Hovering in the back of my heart 

Even though we never 

Stood a chance

You were never enough 

So why do I still

Compare every man to you

Always astound when I find 

They are just like you

Always crushed they‘re not

You

To my mother

And here I thought

Worst heartbreak comes with men

Oh how wrong I was

Mother dearest

A feeling so broken

And yet so light

Since I freed myself

From you

Bonded by birth

Estranged over the years

And here I thought

We were ok

There was no room

Between misplaced guilt

And you

Being so unforgiving

And here I know

Worst heartbreak comes with you

Oh how I wish you’d be

Mother dearest

To my sister

You’re gleaming

Just as if

Your body reflects all light

There is

You’re radiant

Forgive me

If I ever possessed

Your light

You’re fierce

And you’re not broken

Don’t ever

Let anyone tell you different

You’re my hero

And you will be forever

Loved

And gleaming

To losing you

I still wonder

If I had held all knowledge

There is 

Inside of my mind

Would I understand

Could I ever 

Even try to apprehend

Why I wasn‘t enough

Where I‘d gone wrong

Or how I could‘ve made you stay

I still find myself

Falling asleep in denial of your absence

Wishing, with my eyes closed

You‘d be there

When I wake up

I still wake up

To the same heavy heart

To the stormy mind

You left me with

Weeks ago
