Nameless Lake

Here's a free verse poem about my experiences through a recent break up to debut... Thanks :D

With no where to go from here,

How did we end up so distant?

Did your kind heart find its way to a hearth,

While I still tread in the cold?

Sharp winds as your memory clear,

Cutting through my shelter consistent,

Comfort eludes as certain as death to birth,

Famished by the weight of all I hold.

Conversations combustive like sparks to the lake,

My heart tarnished like Autumn's leaves,

Buried in snow, waiting on Spring's replenish.

How the seconds pass like days.

If I find my way back will you be the same?

Would I have it in me still to make your eyes gleam?

Find a diamond to grant your every wish,

For I was merely an oil spill to your lake.

Your voice heard kindles like a bonfire yonder,

As I trudge through miles of heavy snow,

Knee deep in hopeless aspirations,

The mirage quickly fades in a Winter's storm.

Will I strike comfort as I wander?

Cold and desperate, a miner prospecting gold,

Selling lies and over exaggerations,

In a tundra of loneliness, striving to keep warm.

Author's Note

Be as honest as you need.
