Ruins

Ruins

A Poem by Aehr

Why do I feel like 
This is all that will remain of us?

I, looking at you-
The sun lighting up your eyes when you smile,
The way you laugh-a sound so melodious to me,
The way you draw me towards you,
And the way I restrain myself, 
Because I know that this is not real.
And one day I might just wake up thinking- 
That it was all a beautiful dream,
Too far away to be reached.

Why do I feel like
All that will remain of us,
Is ruins.
Old and broken pieces of 
Something that could never be. 

Ruins of something, that never even got to exist.

A good piece and really inspiring I thank you for writing it and sharing your thoughts.
It's true at the end of the day people dont realise what they lost until it is gone. And I think your poem shines that through nicely :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts

"Is ruins.
Old and broken pieces of
Something that could never be. "
Sometime we must face the truth. All that is left are ruins of a kind love. No weakness in the excellent poetry.

So often we have been taught that if it looks too good to be true - it is. This poem speaks to that. Well done.
