Once Again


A Poem by Juanita

Warning
This story is rated Mature and may contain material unsuitable for readers under 18.

 

Bare back,
Dark skin
Once again
I’ve awakened to see you.
 
Once again
I’m here with you
After we’ve both decided
That we were through.
 
Once again
I’m watching you sleep,
Knowing that what we’ve sown
We soon will have to reap.
 
Once again
I tell myself we should part,
But I still feel you
So close to my heart.
 
Once again
I’m telling myself,
“This isn’t right.”
 
But once again,
I’m telling you,
“Just stay,
Just one more night.”
 
Once again
I don’t want to move on.
I can’t bear the pain I’ll feel
Once you have gone.
 
So once again
I awaken to see you.
Bare back, dark skin.
Here within
My arms.

Featured Review

i love this poem and i can really relate to it. i love your choice of words, i love the circle, how you ended with where you began, i love the subtlety and the idea. this is a really great poem, simple but gets the message across clearly and vividly. it also presents a reality a lot of us have to face and how we deal with our own realities. it is very honest and sincere. great job!
