we were learning about poetry in english class today so here is mine =)
the poem’s theme is “disappointment”, but I think my is overly-exaggerated LOL
(note: the “/” is a paragraph break thingy because I don’t know how to do it D=)
My heart sank like
a stone into murky waters.
Watching as the dreams, wishes left,
Dissipating into the shadows.
Forgotten.
Abandoned.
/
Standing there,
like a clown in spotlight.
Palms still warm with hope,
Now warm with shame.
“Why did I believe them?”
/
Standing there,
Perhaps, pinned by the weight of
promises unkept
and stories untold,
and sanctuary unfound.
Heart aching, from the ruins of longing.
For tomorrow.
For it all to pass.
/
The world held its breath,
But not for me.
Thoughts spiralling, freefalling.
I couldn’t help but watch,
As all the waiting, all the expectation,
Faded away into nothing.
