Forever

Joseph shelton 1991 (Florida)



FOREVER

Closing my eyes
Images of you I begin
to see,
Taken back to a time
when you once needed
me,

A time when i thought
love couldn't possibly exist, but it was with one touch of your hands that reminded me it did,

Standing face to face, our hands joined together,
I was for sure that your love for me was of FOREVER,

And for awhile, the thought of us parting ways never once crossed my mind,
Once you realized I was hooked on the needle, I knew I had crossed the line,

My days were numbered from that day on,
In just a few short months later, I would find myself waking up to you being gone.

About this poem

Hi. I consider myself not beginner but further than amateur in my writing I've been at it for several years now and my hope is to one day use my writings to inspire the lost, the hopless, the suicidal, cause that was me and still I find myself having to reroute my thinking to avoid hitting them spots again. more…
