When you open
Those piercing, blue eyes
And the hazy outline of us
Wanders over.
Does your brain fill with joy
Over the memories and love
We shared, before it came.
Please say
We aren't yet among the forgotten.
At times, I can hear the
Booming laugh,
And I can feel your comforting touch
You once were known for
Before it came.
I will never stop trying
To dig out the man you used to be.
Before it turned our worlds
Upside down.
I will never come to terms
With how it came
And took you away.

A mysterious and powerful one in its ambiguity. I love it, Skye!
Thank you Louis!
it's a great poem with such a mystery behind "it" but so powerful. So sad, especially at the end. Great write, Skye!
Thank you Christina! Your response to my poem means so much 🙂
This reminded me of my step mom and her son. A relationship that started out so well, but his "IT" was drugs and gangs.
I interpreted this as losing a loved one. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Very well written.
I suppose I wrote it so ambiguously so that it could be interpreted in many different ways, thank you for commenting!
