Reaching Down, I Released You... I'm So Sorry

Beneath Hershey skies, lain upon monolithic moon, my heart cur like butter,
slowly, ripples arc wayward from confusion within... oh, how I miss my Father

Eons escape in each sigh,as I exhale the security of Your omnipotent glory,
fallen by wayside, I've lost touch, and now You hide embrace from me

Once a swan in midst of everything, now I'm in desire's pool of nothing,
knotted up in reflections, mirror muddy water, I... the ugly duckling

Drowned in all I've thought to want, eyes opened, but closed heart,
and now I've lost You, taking You for granted... thinking we'd never part

Stars mutter my view... glittering within my grasp like silver trumpets,
intrigued by things not meant to be, has left me as lonely as it gets



A shroud has beset my soul, and I have lost way to my eternal home,
who would have thought, that by wandering off... I'd be wandering alone?

Dawn eludes me, as tequila rise lay drunken at my every advance,
repelled, morning refuses to follow, as I make one last stance

Heavy hearted, lost of purpose, I kneel... stale upon clumps of clay,
between fear of the newly found loneliness, I reach into my soul and pray

Exhausted of breath, stones grind into battered, and unwavering knees,
as soggy eyes squint...I pray, "Dear Lord.. will you forgive me please!!"

Broken glass imitate satin sheets, smooth in dreams, but cutting deep,
but You are not here.. not this time, and so, my soul continues to weep

Prompt: a night without you is very painful...Unknown

    Amazing write

    The words that you poured, i took them in and drank every

    drop that you bled. my heart was broken just by the words

    that you said.

    Oh. This is such a sad little poem sweety. I hope you were just writing off the prompt for the contest and not actually going through this. It just made me feel sad. Because even if it's not something you're going through, there are people that go through this kind of stuff all the time. It's just one of the hardships of being alive. I thought you did a good job of expressing yourself here.
