Description: A poem about initial onslaught of pain when losing someone.
Will I Ever Awake? -------------------------------------------
Will I ever awake?
I’m left to the unknown
Without my only guide to life
I cried alone
In an air that encompassed
My soul and tightened
Around till I could not breathe one time
And now I am enlightened
Or maybe my brain has lost oxygen
And I have lost the reason
To live or die – neither seems desirable
Except death is treason
To the memory of a lost angel
That I imagined right here in my state
My deoxygenated state
Forever, without a breath, I sit and wait
While life continues to relegate
The fathomless possibilities of heartbreak
I’m here waiting to be shaken awake
Deliriously yelling to shake
For someone to shake me out
Of this nightmarish, ghost-like reality
That I float through broken
A broken and mangled mentality
No.
I will never awake
Submission Name: Will I Ever Awake?
