Poetry

I decided that since I cannot keep up a blog of my life (given that it is not that interesting) that I will change the purpose of said blog. It shall be now a publication of poetry. My poetry and perhaps other works by inspiring writers. The first piece I present to you is one of my personal favorites. It is entitled "I Thought About You Then"

"I Thought About You Then"

I thought about You last night

but I didn't speak a word

I've talked to You before and wondered

if you ever heard

We used to be good friends

but I don't remember when...

I thought about You then

Alone in this room

i lie with wide eyes

Numb to the touch

lungs filled with sighs

Our distance seems so grand

in reality is so thin...

I thought about You then

Standing before the sink

conscience not so clear

Don't dare look in that mirror!

the thought brings forth a tear

Pick up the dirt and blood stained soap

i wash my hands again...

I thought about You then

It's chilly out

on this starless sky

While a cold, silent whisper

simply passes by

Fear strikes my tongue

conscience of my sin...

I thought about You then

Miles lay before me

and blisters rule my feet

I realize that I have become

the lost and wondering sheep

Reluctant soul. Fast paced heart

i know that I can't win...

I thought about You then

Tired now of running

hiding, obsolete

Ashamed to confess

his need in my defeat

Words trapped within

to speak, I don't know how

I thought about You then

I can't be without You now.
