Forever in shade

 

Forever left in shade,

under the aching tree,

as it watches.

Mournfully

over me.

Branches reach out,

but never quite touch.

Falling leaves

coating my skin,

like earth being thrown

upon the heavy lid

of my coffin.

 

Forever is delayed,

being led away,

a different path to me.

Led astray with dreams

dancing,

into tomorrow's

fading yesterdays.

Sometimes dreams

are meant

to be broken.

Shattered and scattered,

to the wind like dust.

Forever is delayed

and time is almost up.

 

Forever left in tears.

It never seems

to stop raining in here.

A constant downpour.

Can the sun reach out

to where I beckon?

Dry these tears

that are getting leaden.

So that I can see clearly.

If only for a second.

Or will I be

forever left

upon this shelf

of broken hearts,

always trying

to rebuild myself.
