Poetry

Summer The days are longer The night skies Draped in stars, Shimmering pearls in the ocean; While the seagulls soar Above the ever, turning tides.

As he passes by each day
I keep hoping to see
Through those guarded eyes,
The things he kept from me.

As he passes by each day
I keep hoping to see
The guy he once was
The way he used to be.

As he passes by each day
I keep hoping to see
But why, wasn't I able to see?
He is my one and only.

As he passes by each day
I keep hoping to see
The love we struggled to have
Before it became a mystery.

As he passes by each day
I keep hoping to see
Us, specks of me in his eyes
Some space in his life.

But as he passed by one day,
I quit hoping and moved on,
The blanks I saw in his eyes-
Our world in oblivion,

We are gone.
