The Next Step

Medsto

The quivering embers litter the floor
The dying hues give way
Flowing parallel with blues

 

Old news plasters the walls
Thoughts akin to paper mache
A paper heart is dry, brittle, and overused

 

Halls, emptied, and fleeting
Misleading doors nailed shut
My mind starts to push back, decreeing

 

Quivering embers little the floor
They become ash
A sigh
No more

  • Comment from author about the poem: A lot of the things I've written so far are a collection of my feelings revolving around the end of a relationship. A mixture of turmoil, intrusive thoughts and the rollercoaster of emotions that one has to ride until now. The heart is crazy. The brain is crazier. I wrote this as an ode to the next step(s) once the rollercoaster has slowed and I'm finally to get off. Although my legs are wobbly and I'm still a little disorientated, I'm ready to catch my breath and move on.
