Farewell, My Love (Rewritten)

Shrouded in mystery

Blinded by darkness

Trapped inside, like a brick wall

Engulfed in misery

Isolated from memories

Removed from physical awareness

 

On the other side

Through the darkness

Fog settles in the air

Moonlight streams through clouded night

Figures stand amongst the hills

Behind the trees lurks the unknown spirits

 

Longing for your kiss goodbye

Without you in sight, but remaining in mind

Your whispers surround me like a blanket

Tears fall, like shells from a gun, hitting the ground

The shadows dance still

You’re presence is missed by many

The call that came that night kept me awake for hours

Nightmares started haunting, and never ceased to exist

And a dark cloud pours all day long, sobbing and soaking

Running on empty for so long and without your hopeful words

Whispering, ‘it will all be okay, I’m here.’

You’re no longer here.

 

Unable to pull myself away

In a trance-like state

Wipe away the tears streaming like waterfalls

Here, leaving you with something for the night

A soft, pink rose—you like these best

It adds a bit of contrast, lying atop your grey tombstone

 

For now, I’ll stray

Off to the place you once called home

Still I follow the routine since that day

When you walked out of my life and didn’t return

But for you I always will

And baby, I’ll be back tomorrow morning.

I had to write a poem for English class, so I tweaked Farewell, My Love a lot, and thought I'd share this. :)
