It happened again today. I was going to write a simple and short poem, but somehow, it got long and complicated. Don’t ask me what I was thinking. LOL. I don’t think I can answer that anyway.
Take a look.
Hello, stranger
Surprised I’m writing to you today?
I know
I don’t understand myself
Perhaps I need to get it all out
Remember the day I met you?
I was sitting on a beach
My legs buried deep into the soil
My hair flying around my face
Away from the world, away from distractions
Solitude, the say
I love the stillness of it
At least I used to
Till you walked up to me
Smiling down with amusement
I never talked about that day
Why I wanted everything gone
I recall your alarmed look at the stones
I had filled my pockets with them
Waiting for the waves to come
You saved me from myself
And from the ugly demons
Threatening to swallow me alive
You held my hand when they reared their heads
Day after day
I waited for your judgement but it didn’t come
I stopped fighting them alone
Because you were there
You showed me the bright side
And encouraged my baby steps
Hello, my love
I’m back on the beach
Neither sitting nor leaving my hair untamed
Today, I’m standing
Staring at the waves
Wishing you had lived a while longer
Thanks for reading!
