I manage to stop.
Choking back my tears I smile.
Until I remember.
The river flows again.
I manage to stop.
Choking back my tears I smile.
Until I remember.
The river flows again.
Moving on
Moving up
Growing older
Growing wiser
Drifting further
Drifting onwards
Away from me
Away from here
Away from where
We used to be
I miss you
My heart cries tears
I wish you could be
Right here with me
Tonight
Heat like a burning iron
Seared through my heart
Scorching the soft flesh –
The intensity of which
Left me begging for mercy
My unwiped tears left to
Dry themselves away
It has been suggested that I am “too intense”
I have no idea how to be less intense
And whether I should even try
But I guess being less intense could be more fun
How does one go about being less intense?
Missing my mum
Missing my dad
Missing a life I no longer have
Feeling sad
Missing my family
Missing my home
Missing lives that no longer live
Feeling alone
