Chelsea8 in Poetry & Free Verse

Don’t look back

-

Don’t look back

-

I keep my resolve steady

like Orpheus leaving his beloved in the underworld

my grief for you consumes me

I hear your voice

I know you’re there

just behind me…

-

but I don’t look back

I can’t look back

-

the temptation of you

breaks me

with every step

and I know,

I’m doomed,

to a fate of mourning you

my love;

but still I walk

forward

step by step

head held high.

-

Don’t look back

-

for I know I can’t

stay down there with you.

so forward I march

with the pieces of my shattered heart

I’ll see you in my dreams

my love,

forever just over my shoulder,

calling to me

but

-

I won’t look back.

Chelsea8 in Poetry & Free Verse

Thank you

Every memory of us

flashes at the end

the happiest days of my life,

Thank you for those.

you showed me a love

I never thought I’d find,

Thank you for that.

you introduced me to

the girl

who would be strong enough

to leave you,

Thank you for her.

Chelsea8 in Poetry & Free Verse

I throw my heart

against the walls you built

-

over and over

over and over

-

I aim at the cracks

hoping to break through

-

over and over

over and over

-

battered and bruised

pieces of my heart fly off

lie dead on the ground

-

over and over

over and over

-

when will it stop?

will this wall ever break?

-

over and over

over and over

-

a glimpse of sunshine,

a tiny hole!

renewed with hope I throw with all my might

-

over and over

over and over

-

my heart, now a third of its size,

the destruction lays all around me.

Finally it fits through the hole,

so grateful that it worked,

I tell myself I’m happy

-

over and over

over and over…

Eclipse

I’m so tired of being tired

so sick of feeling sad

it doesn’t have to be

this hard.

just let me love you

come back to me

and love me how you once did

I’m trying so hard

but fake smiles

have expiration dates

and my heart is almost

at the limit

of what it can take.

I know you’re in there

somewhere…

please dont tell me

it’s too late

come back to me,

my love

This eclipse is breaking

us both

the darkness is spreading

blocking out the light

of our love

Im still here.

come back to me,

My Love

Lazy Sundays

Let’s laugh away the morning

with forehead kisses

and heartbeats slow;

tangled together

in the perfect bow
