This is a poem I wrote about a certain someone who feels remorse after someone else leaves the team.
Drifting Feathers
All alone
Without you, I have no reason
No reason to rise out of bed
So why?
Why do I bother?
Because…
There is no reason
I saw you today
Your smile, it tore me up
And tonight I cried for you
This pain
Screams from the inside
Like the sweet messenger of death
I need your kiss tonight
Hold me now
Like you did when you left
Do you love her?
Is she another that I cannot compete with?
I can't imagine that
You speak so easily with her
And we hardly spoke in the years we lived together
So little we have in common
And we've known each other for so long
You know me like no other
This pain
Screams from the inside
Like the sweet messenger of death
I need your kiss tonight
This howl of pain
Escapes from my lips
I fall; I am not indestructible, invulnerable
Help me
Your face is the last thing I see
Before the black of my soul takes over
The darkness that kept me safe for so long
Now fails me
It controls me now
I am lost to it
This pain
Screams from the inside
Like the sweet messenger of death
I need your kiss tonight
Or the world will parish
Along with my unrequited love
My hope flutters
And joins my innocence
Like the drifting feathers
Of my spirit.
