The Last Supper

Something was definitely off

I saw you yesterday
Or...did I...?
I can't really explain what happened.
You didn't really talk to me,
and you left really early.

It's probably my fault.
I was acting pretty distant.
I felt kinda sleepy
as I played with my food,
and didn't know what to say.

Emptiness between us...
What a foreign feeling!
And here I am awake,
one week later,
with my thoughts just...floating.

No. They're not swimming.
They're being carried by the current,
an inexplicable tide,
a gentle breeze in morning fog,
so thick that you lose yourself.

So where am I now?
I'm being consumed by this ridiculous need
to prove myself to you,
no, to entertain you
no, to please you.

I miss you.
But that's pretty vague, isn't it?
I'm turning over in an empty bed
waiting for the chance to see you again.

At least with you here,
I can stare at you,
as you stare past me,
and run through my mind how much I love you.

My fantasy can taste reality
and my eyes can taste hope
if you'll sit next to me
for one more meal.

Author's Note

This is one of those times where I based this poem on a real event, and it just took on a life of its own! I love it when that happens. Thank you so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Amazingly written!
I see so much potential in your writing!
my favorite part was, "At least with you here,
I can stare at you,
as you stare past me,
and run through my mind how much I love you."
Thanks for your amazing poetry!
can you by chance look at my Story The Blonde girl? that would be great.
Keep up the amazing work!

this is very real and lived out. I find it most impressive when someone can bleed out their poetry and you seem to have cut yourself wide open to reveal beauty and integrity :)

Sometimes some moments're meant to be gone but it's always happened to see that they leave bunches of memories behind even in bulk to live with. You've captured few shots/moments of your life in words & shaped 'em nicely with the articulation of your artistic/poetic art which's seemed very intriguing to read.
