so many times an empty canvas.
So close to touch perfection
it seemed so far away.

Tears you never saw a sign
broken in a way you never knew.
Fragile in all the strength shown
severed in a way that kept whole.

So close to when I was a child
and only myself to blame
even if never anyone to fault
the pain still remains the same.

My harmful heart bears the shame
that never was it's to have.
Yours to keep without seeing
holding sacred something wrongly.

Always what is needed
in spite of what is wanted.
Cold in my own darkness
alone without all the light.

Left wishing on an empty night staring where a darkened moon once was.

Wishing on a starless night

Blanked by an eternally empty sky
so many times an empty canvas.
So close to touch perfection
it seemed so far away.

Tears you never saw a sign
broken in a way you never knew.
Fragile in all the strength shown
severed in a way that kept whole.

So close to when I was a child
and only myself to blame
even if never anyone to fault
the pain still remains the same.

My harmful heart bears the shame
that never was it's to have.
Yours to keep without seeing
holding sacred something wrongly.

Always what is needed
in spite of what is wanted.
Cold in my own darkness
alone without all the light.

Left wishing on an empty night staring where a darkened moon once was.

So much of what we carry as ourselves affects those around us without them knowing why, well written

I agree with Venkat, cool and deep indeed:)

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
