Forever, But Not Today
A poem
The sinking feeling in my heart Makes all stars go silent I rose too fast and fell Dwindling down at the speed of light A vortex in my chest and clouds of smoke Around my head
Still falling — In a soundproof existence
Appearing solemn on the outside Embodying sorrow on the inside Pain of the soul, heartache Please hold me I need a gentle voice to guide me I’ll even settle for a pat on the head
I am in pain
I can’t explain why that is I wish you could magically feel what I feel Then there would be no need for talking I wouldn’t mind if I never spoke again But I can’t traverse this black hole Not without you
