Poems of an Overly Caffeinated Teen...

No Longer Here

No Longer Here

Dec 03, 2021

Sadness  seeps  in,

My  heart,  still  beating,

Nothing  left  but  memory

Many  still  weep,

But  others  have  gone

They've  found  their  strength,

They've  left  me  behind

To  deal  with  a  loss

Greater  than  me.

Keep  away,  please,

My  heart  must  heal

I  must  push  away,  although  I  long  to  be  held  close

Death  has  taken  what  I  hold  dear,

My  best  friend,  who's  no  longer  here.

Longing  for  love,

But  pushing  away,

I  beg  for  today.

Tomorrow  will  be  better,

Or  so  they  say

My  heart  will  no  longer  yearn  for  affection,

My  head  will  take  over,

I  will  become  emotionless

Until  someone  shows  me  love  once  more.

Walls  building,

Just  to  be  brought  down,

By  love  or  fury,

whichever  I'm  shown.

Keep  away,  please,

My  heart  must  heal,

I  must  push  away,  although  I  long  to  be  held  close

Death  has  taken  what  I  hold  dear,

My  best  friend,  who's  no  longer  here.

In  this  world,  my  heart  is  hurting,

But  I've  yet  to  find  out  the  cost

Of  building  these  walls,  covered  in  frost.

My  healing  heart,

Ripped  open  by  love,

Only  to  be  closed  by  fear.

My  heart,  still  beating,

Tells  me  to  stay,  to  learn  to  love.

But  my  head  has  told  me  to  flee.

So  I  stand  frozen  in  time,

Waiting  for  you  to  return,

To  come  home  from  your  trip,

To  tell  me  it  will  be  fine.

However,  my  friend,

No  return  shall  be  seen,

Until  I  see  you  once  more.

My  heart  is  still  healing,  but  I'll  see  you  soon.

Keep  away,  please,

My  heart  must  heal,

I  must  push  away,  although  I  long  to  be  held  close

Death  has  taken  what  I  hold  dear,

My  best  friend,  who's  no  longer  here.

Who  is  no  longer  here.
