Late night wake up calls.

by Poet on the Piano   Feb 27, 2015


I barely kissed daylight today; nightmares
plagued the innocence I held for you, taunting
me with ideas that love would isolate then
act as carbon dioxide in a closed garage. I
wanted to flirt a bit longer with sleep while
sunlight eased its way across my brows. But
I had to realize that slumber won't keep you
away. It's childish to think that I can hug
these blankets and somehow be sheltered
from reality, or believe it is you I am embracing.

I can't live like that...
I won't lie, you know me too well. Yet you don't
know all of me and we are not connected the
way I only dream about.

I'm okay, without you. And that's all I can
admit (now).

    MA, This poem is rich with imagery and heart. wow. Not wanting to wake up when the sun is out but knowing you have to is a struggle. Memories huant you and you just wish you could take everything back, but alas you cannot and you cannot live with what you are feeling now. (or at the beginning of the poem). what I believe you are saying though, is that nightmares plague you as if real life was happening in your dreams, but you fought out of it. as you say, you wanted to sleep longer but in the end you couldn't. You cannot escape reality no matter how hard you true, but this person that was close to you is now gone. But at the end of the poem you realize that you cannot keep living your life with this depression that you are feeling and in turn keep going through your life, and admit that you know this person is gone and not coming back for now. This was a great write full of different emotions that work well together. 5/5
