WRITTENWORKPOEMS

Walking next to you—

A dream I have daily.

A good night's kiss,

To wish upon good dreams.

A good morning kiss,

To start another great day.

I prayed to deities,

To whomever would listen:

I prayed for you.

Crushing down upon my dreams,

You came with an iron fist.

Blowing kisses to the air around me,

Leaving me chasing—

Chasing what I’ll never have.

They say,

"Everything happens for a reason,”

The reason as unclear as driving through a storm—

The reason.

I’m not good enough.

The reason is that I’m not perfect.

I may wish upon stars,

I may pray to deities of another world,

But yet unheard, my prayers go,

For you were the one I prayed for,

The one I wished for—

For you are no longer part of my dream.

I wait for the day that I see you,

The day my stomach doesn’t drop,

Butterflies don’t form at its depth.

Waiting for the day I smile with confidence,

Waiting for the day I say,

"You were once a dream, but no longer,

I wish you well.”

The day I say,

Thank you.
