Kim V. Poetry

I have repeated the
Words over and over
In my mind,
And they still don’t sound right.

I don’t know what I want to say,
And I’m losing this fight.

I thought I was superhuman,
With an ability to put aside the
Echoes of heartbreak and just
Write.

But my mind is caught up.

Caught up
With thoughts of how
I cried for us.
Thoughts of how I believed
In us.

Was I that foolish?
Was I that blind?
Did my heart see
Something I refused to?

Because tonight,
I want to write
To loveliest lines.

Lines about romance
And beauty.
Lines about kissing
And shooting stars.

I want to write about loving you.

But I’m stuck in a
Dance of pen and paper,
Waiting for the words to flow and
Bloom underneath the moon.

I’m hungry for beautiful phrases.
I’m poetically starving
For intricately crafted lines.

But all I can do is read
Over lost love letters,
And let the tears blur my eyes.

All I can do is scribble your
Name,
On every blank page.

All I can do
Is dance underneath evening
The sky,
Alone.

Waiting,
Wishing,
Hoping.

Maybe I’m only human,
After all.

Because I’m still broken,
Missing you.

And the words just won’t come.
