Silently Wishing

Tears are streaming,

falling down her face,

her mouth opens

but no sound comes out,

She silently wishes

for you to listen

for you to understand

that she meant no harm,

But the damage is done

No turning back

no undoing those words

that were said,

She wants you to know

that she is sorry,

but she just can’t say it

for the fear of your reaction,

But she wishes

you’d listen

to those silent words

those words that will never be said,

But she wishes you might see

she really cares,

that she’d never leave you

or how much she loves you,

But from her view

she sees that you are hurting

and you only seemed to be wanting a new life,

so she reaches for your arms for one last time,

but they are not there when she reaches for them,

tears are streaming

falling down her face,

she wishes for you to listen,

for you to understand

but now she knows that you won’t

so she says goodbye

then slowly walks into the lurking darkness

where she’ll wait

for the day when you’ll take notice

of the tears and words that are never said.

I’m Being Forgotten

Alone, sad, gloomy

Once loved but not anymore

Seen but not heard

Heard but not seen

I'm being Forgotten,

*

Withholding, left out, cast aside

Once mighty and strong

Cursed and swore

Sought revenge

I'm being Forgotten,

*

Me, myself, and I

All once loved

We cried night and day

But no one cared

I'm being Forgotten,

*

You, yourself

Could hardly imagine

The turmoil within

This dying soul

I'm being Forgotten,

*

I'm left here

I've been forgotten

In this isolated place

In the depth of my mind

I'm being Forgotten,

*

My Savior, my God

Can you hear my cries?

You're so out of reach

I've slipped out of your hand,

I'm being Forgotten,

*

Where were you?

When I fell into darkness

You have drifted away

From my sight, now I'm crying

Because I'm being Forgotten.

Alexis21 in Poetry & Free Verse

I Am The One

I am the one who's in control of my life

Some may say that my past is what defines me

But it doesn't, it's what happens here in the present

That defines me as a person.

But I am the one who's in control of my life,

No one can control it for me,

I am not just a label that others put onto me

But I am my own person,

But I am the one who's in control of my life

Yeah, I have had made stupid mistakes

But I am not going to be held back from those failures

I am learning from my mistakes and I'm striving to be a better

But I am the one who's in control of my life

I love to enjoy life as it is right now

And I will no longer dwell on the past

I will start looking forward towards a better tomorrow

But I am the one who's in control of my life

And nobody else can make me do something I don't want to

Because I have my own free will

And I have the right to speak my mind and thoughts.
