Longing

There's a blanket on my window A lone sunbeam is leaking through The colour is washed out and dull Although the day is new The sun still slowly rises School's approaching fast Another day's upon me It's time to leave at last Traffic is loud and sudden Almost more than I can take I try to drown out the sound My ears seem to shake Everything is different Hugs are suffocating with deceit Loneliness is coming back to me And it's something I can't cheat Food is cold and tasteless Voices blend and fade out Avoiding people constantly Every day is a new route You won't ever hear of this You will never know How my heart clings to you How it refuses to let go © KLLK 2005 *Author's Note: This poem was written shortly after a recent break-up.*
