Like a stone

Like a stone

A Poem by A.G.

I'm sinking like a stone,
falling to my feet
every part of me,
left vacant and defeat
sandcastle memories,
washed away by the sea
by the shore, 
once more, you left me...
once again lonely

No willing sky, no passing cloud
just your distant shout-
you call out to me.
I follow the faded footsteps of your promises,
years have passed and I'm still waiting...

I'm sinking like a stone,
hitting the bottom all alone
no one will ever know,
how I got their...

I'm a master at pretending
but deep inside,
I'm dying, heart beating for something more...
I'm a shell caught in the waves,
She said,
"wave goodbye to the world
and meet your grave..."

He said better yourself,
don't be better for the ones you love
you will never know, why I do what I do...
I need support yet I have none
so I drift away,
passing the surface, passing the seafoam..
maybe the bottom is where I'll feel at home
so I'll continue to drift away from you,
passing the surface,
passing the seafoam...

God, I really need a friend,
before I hurt myself again
you're the reason I'm pushing through,
what is left of me I leave to you
is that really the truth?
are you really the reason why?
No, you're just another grain of sand collecting by the beachside...

I'm so heavy,
so burdened...
but I'll hold on till then,
to your smile of a thousand suns and your gentle hands.

I'm sinking like a stone,
drifting to the sea floor
But please promise me,
At least you'll try greet me their...

Can sinking stones find proper place?
"I'm so heavy,
so burdened...
but I'll hold on till then,
to your smile of a thousand suns and your gentle hands"
We do need kind smile and a gentle hand in our hand to find some sort of peace dear Angelina. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.

You are welcome Angelina.
Your poem speaks well of of the pain of losing a lover. That helpless feeling, not seeing the light any more and being indifferent to everything around you. You words captured the emotions calling out, pleading for something to hold on to. Well done, Angelina.
Blessings,

You are welcome. Pain is something many can relate to. Keep your head up!
"I'm sinking like a stone,
hitting the bottom all alone
no one will ever know,
how I got their..."-- I think this is the most beautiful stanza I came across this month. One must be so good in observing to draw this simile. And now when I am looking again this poem I find more and more beautiful lines that's a delight for a reader, "I follow the faded footsteps of your promises", "once more, you left me...once again lonely".
Loved this poem entirely and wholly!
thanks for sharing:)

Smiles to you too! And welcome :)❤
You conveyed your emotions well here. Plenty of imagery and I appreciated the internal rhyme. Repetition worked well.

Couple of nitpick, you're = you are
there

Otherwise quite a solid write. Well done

Yes, splash it across the page. Far better expressed than left to fester inside. Keep writing :)
