Knowing my head’s telling me lies
But my throat hurts as it swallows
Thoughts buzzing ‘round like fireflies
While underneath the willows
From the rising of the sun
To the sunset during summer
It’s hard to forget someone
That gave you so much to remember
Cannot sleep in this empty bed
Unsure if I’m gonna cope
Many colorful shapes in my head
Like an everlasting kaleidoscope
Again seeing you in my cavity
When you wrote an address that night
That wasn’t just a dream to me
I’m gonna hyperventilate
Figuring out what happened to you
Why our talks ended so sudden
Still wanting to find the truth
Two years with completely nothing
It’s easier to move on I know
But you have to understand
Everyone said to just let go
I guess I was a one-man band
I remember when I saw her face
When I heard her say my name
She wasn’t just another grace
I felt her make me sane
Delusion they call it, sensing their hate
I know I saw you in every dream
Hope doesn’t have an expiry date
But silence is the loudest scream

This poem, Willows, was a rather emotional piece to come up with and took some time to construct because of the emotion and story behind it.
The poem is about a person that came into my life back a few years ago, we became close but have since lost contact and the connection that was once so fluent, although she and her memory has stayed with me ever since.
Does anyone else out there wish that sometimes they didn't have such a good memory? Because I most certainly do, but she's a memory I'd rather keep in mind.
Anywho, so here it is... my latest poem, Willows.
Enjoy!
