Kim V. Poetry

My heart aches tonight
And the words have ceased
To flow.

All the songs on the playlist,
Are sad and full of longing.

And every line,
Every chorus,
Every beat I hear,
Reminds me of better times,
When you smiled because of me.

The sun has come and gone,
And the moon is rising up
In the horizon.

And I’m still here,
Sitting by the window,
Waiting for a star
To wish a miracle on.

Waiting for you.

Waiting to hear you say
The words I’ve wanted you to say
For so long.

Waiting for the blinders
To be lifted from your eyes.

Waiting for you to see me,
Just like I see you.

But, I fear that moment
Will never come.

And I’ll just be a lost memory.

So tonight I’ll dip my pen
In the tear-filled ink of black,
And force myself to write
To the pain,
And let it all go on the page.

But deep down I know,
That no matter
How much it hurts,
I’ll still keep waiting,
Hoping for that wish to come true.

Because my heart aches tonight.

It aches and breaks for you.
