MOVE ME POETRY — A POETRY COMMUNITY LIKE NO OTHER
The Reckoning
Under this darkened sky
I await the rising moon
here
there is only
loneliness
only the agony
of loss
for this is it
the reckoning
we sin
and sin again
and the anguish
eats away
at our tortured hearts
I can take no more
sorrow flows
forever in my veins
in time this will be
just a memory
I am not
who you thought
I am no longer
who I used to be
your voice
now tortures my soul
forever bound
forever mine, you said
but they also say
that all good things
must end….
love
so ephemeral
unable to be held
once
I was your one and only
once
you were mine alone
but now
I am a lost soul
darkness is already
my only companion
and as I walk away
in my heart I know
that I may never
truly say goodbye
and under this darkened sky
I still await the rising of the moon
