Summer days have come and gone
Left me shivering
I find myself alone
Half dead and withering
…
Have you lost your way
Amidst the pouring rain?
Feels like déjà vu
All over again
…
Stars used to be so bright
Till the tables took a turn
Now they watch me weep
Now they watch me burn
…
Little did I know
Nightmares do come true
Memories hurt so bad
When I think of you
…
Not one moment’s passed
Without you on my mind
Never thought you’d treat me
So cruel and unkind
…
I miss your warmth and hold
Never thought you’d turn so cold
Am I destined to be this way?
Am I dead or am I old?
…
So long so long
My fragile bones are calling on
You are just like those summer days
You too have come and gone
I really really love this. Can relate in many ways, thanks for writing this,
Venus

Good morning, Frank! Thanks for stopping by and Liking my rather dark poem, Pairing Knife. If you go to my About, you’ll see a bit more about me and find that I am usually on the more cheerful side of life — but moments that are dark, do seep in on all of us.
I do love the “return policy” of this blogging world….as in someone Likes something I wrote and it leads to my discovery of them 🙂
This poem is quite amazing….the emotions run deep. And until I read the reply and comment about rhyming, I did not even notice the rhyming pattern — and that my new friend, is a true compliment. So many times writers use rhyme and it is forced….and then it takes away from the sense of the poem. I find myself “waiting” to see what the rhymed word will be. Does that make sense? In your writing here, I am carried away by the meaning of the poem and taking this journey with you….all the way to the end of summer. It is quite quite good!
Shall stop by again…I am certain! 🙂
Hope to “chat” with you again, over my morning cup of coffee!

It’s more of a song than a poem
Not sure about the genre though
Dark? Grunge? I don’t know

Thanks for the encouragement
To me, it sounds more like a song than a poem
But it rhymes
And that’s what really matters

The lines ” Now they watch me weep, Now they watch me burn” are particularly moving. Your work is beautiful.

My life is a mess
I surround myself in darkness
And the words flow out, more or less
