okay so, i have NOT written in such a long time, and when i tried, i couldn't stop.
it's not edited, so please point out the mistakes if you see any! :D
Thankyou so much for taking your time to read my posts! i know i don't reply much and all, but i really do appreciate your encouragement. It's just that I start thinking that if i say "thankyou!" and all so much, it'll start to sound like I'm just saying it and i don't really mean it (and i really do mean it). -.-'
(the name of the poem is still being worked on as of yet, but this is the 'prototype', you could say)
The Other World
I live here alone
At the edge of the earth;
There are long fields where lights
Float up, towards the clouds
Blackened skies that are never luminous
They simply suck up the lights...
The yellow grass that never glows green
The roses that never fall
Yet they are so dried and dead..
I'm here all alone
And I search for you
The broken buildings fall
And I lose myself in the
Devastation.
I search for the cities in the night
Where I once knew
When they lightened up like
The same lights that float around
I search for the same soul
I once knew,
Laughing and kind;
Always changing
Yet always so familiar.
The shattered glass reflects
The darkness in the skies,
In place of the ocean that is long gone.
Here I am,
Without you;
Always finding my way, and
Always losing myself.
I see my windows,
The shutters open
And I see the other world
With so much life and beauty...
Here I am,
Without you;
Always searching for a way to leave,
Yet I never seem to find the way out.
