Poetry in the Dark

Writing poetry in the dark

as I wait for you.

Courting lights as they rush by,

wishing I was enough for you.

You're searching always for more,

trying to fill a void in you.

All that you try and fill it with,

makes the empty grow in you.

There is so much you refuse to know,

shoving down the truth in you.

It’s so hard to watch you fall,

seeing what I see in you.

I love you enough to fight,

enough to shed a tear for you.

I know with you there is no forever,

but I’m grateful for my time with you.
