I cannot help
But feel the feeling
That our trains have passed
In the dead of night
One before the other
Ever so slight
Just passing by, one before the other...have we both since turned?

Im done!
Im done!
Im done...trying to chase you!

Done trying to make you See
when you've only just been Looking
Done kocking on your door
You aren't even home
Done wearing my heart on my sleeves
You keep breaking my Arm

I made a fool of myself
With hopes that it'll make you laugh
Offered my All
You didnt even want Half

Now the flames burnt out
And my confidence back on
It'll be too late
When you realise...You Missed Out
Lon Witter May 2018
I'm living day by day
Nothing seems my way
I try hard everyday
But waste my time anyway

Living alone without you
Longing for the days with you
Days get darker and darker
You get further and further

I try to keep up with you
But I can't catch up with you
I tried to follow your steps
But I lost them in the end.

I've seen it now
mentioned twice
by poets in their lines

somehow I must have
missed
this mission that was assigned

I guess I wasn't quite
paying enough
attention

boy! I sure hope
I don't end up
in detention

I must have fallen asleep
in class

whoops!

better behave
cause
this way I'll never pass

I just found out
about
April's poem a day

oh well, too late now
perhaps I'll try it in May
After I posted, I looked. Quite by accident, I have written a poem every day so far. Of course, it's only the 7th!

from between the soft-pink
of your lips,
pillows of moonlight fall.

the moment we never met held
nothing but shame for me,
longing gazes across the field.

you didn't know i existed.
oh, to be young. and dead.
i recovered from my bought of goodbye cruel world

instead, yours took you.
i dance underneath your teeth
in the softness of nightingale tears.

i arise, with dreams of nothing
but your face.
will i see you again,
this time under the stars?
Look up Deshaun Adderly, Bend Oregon for the full story.
Rest in power.

I saw you again tonight
Now a hand is tight around my heart
Beaten,
Are my ribs
Nothing is where my legs used to be

Dancing
My head is dancing
Not to soft soulful tunes
Pounding bass

Electric lights
Too bright for these eyes
Hands as stable as a ripple in a pond
Stones are dropped in my ears

Couldn't see the rain before it flooded everywhere.

You
Had I come another time,
I never would have met
You.
I never would have seen
You.
Just one wrong turn of a corner and
You
would never have entered my life.
How strange a thought,
Living a life where I didn’t know
You.
Jo Barber Mar 2018
Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.
Maybe you should leave me alone.
Maybe you should shut the hell up.
Maybe you should stop reminding me of all my missed opportunities,
Missed friendships,
Missed loves,
Missed lives.
Maybe you should stop the judgement,
And just let the smoke float up through the air.
It’ll evaporate there.
I promise. The only one I’m hurting is myself.
