Into the Void, Act II: The Missing Ones, Chapter 2 - Expunged



It seems like I remember when
It felt like this would never end.

Across this chasm I will leap,
Because you make me believe
That I can jump that far.
It's all in your hands now
Don't let me down.

You've let it all go to your head again.

I seem to remember
A time last September
When we had to sever
The ties that
Bound us together.
Promised to never
Bother you again.

The dream is now waking.
My knees are still shaking.
My heart is still breaking.
This mistake that we're making,
These chances we're taking;
This all feels so wrong.

Though years will pass between us,
One day we will meet again.
When that day comes
Will I like what I see?
Will you like what I've become?

While some things never change
Much of us is not the same.
We were perfect for each other,
You and I,
But are we still now?

You can't stay here forever.
I can stay here as long as she can.
What's your better plan?

I am a university student from Texas, and a bit of a closet-poet. Perhaps I should keep it in the closet, but I am interested in getting feedback on some of my poetry. Let me know what you think! I used to write a lot of poetry when I was a little kid, but eventually lost interest as I got older. I started writing poetry again as a form of art-therapy during a really hard time in my life. I like to try to experiment with different styles and strange metaphors. Understandably, this can make some of my poetry less accessible at times, but occasionally I feel like it pays off. more…
