She's Out There...

Words become sentences, sentences become stanzas, stanzas become...

She’s out there

Shouting

Pulling at the prison bars

He’s in here

Crying

Feeling every scream

They’re reaching

Apart now

Crowning this heart’s agony

Waiting

Forever

To wake up from the dream

 

She’s out there

Bleeding

The pain of standing strong

He’s in here

Weeping

Seeing phantoms everywhere

They’re falling

Apart now

Raindrops fall like crimson

Waiting

To die now

The world, it separates

 

She out there

Clinging

To one last memory

He’s in here

Remembering

The way things used to be

They both are

Regretting

Mistakes that they have made

Waiting

For redemption

They’re certain cannot be

 

She’s out there

Fighting

To hold on to his love

He’s in here

Screaming

Angry at the loss

They can’t be

Together

The order, it stands clear

So waiting

But never

Comfort’s on the cross

 

She’s out there

Fading

Can’t think, can’t hold on longer

He’s in here

Breaking

Free to find a way

They’re coming

Still nearer

To the end that was foretold

Waiting

No more now

The war is here to stay

Author's Note

Another "poetry poker." For those of you up to date, this is about two of my characters in my book, Black Horizons

_{Shouting behind prison bars, crowning the intensity of the heart
Phantom raindrops fall onto a crimson chaotic lake
See through the glamorous, smothering kiss to the true tale
Plundering the savage anger, comfort naught but a hooded canvas
Unable to think, falling knee-deep into pain and writhing war}
