Only human- first of four poems that go together [they are fictional]

I miss the summer heat, and the love I once received, 

Before I turned

Seventeen. 

Sometimes I wish I could forget about last week, last month, last year, my past,

They were my other half, standing tall as I crumbled to the lowest I could. 

Now I sit, watching her sing lullabies to her newborn baby,

I can’t relate. 

She looks out the open window, glaring like she’s just another neighbor down the street.

In which I do not live. 

Others manage with this pain, that’s not subsiding. 

I’m waiting for love, 

Which dares not to come. 

Knowing it would be found, found out. 

The loose threads of my jacket weave their way into  the fist i’m making, 

There’s no point,

Believe me, if anyone should know, It’s me.

  • The wanderer

    The stone wall upon which he sits is crumbling, rough and moss covered, but it is home. 
    He stares up at the migrating geese, their honks loud and clear in the crisp air. 

  • Not ready

    When the world is dark, and the stars are out 

    My mind comes alive. 

    I drown alone in my thoughts with a smile on my face, 

    And let myself get lost, 

    Because I know I’ll be found. 

  • Ponderings

    I wonder what heaven looks like. I wonder this as an atheist. Is it space, sailing among stars? Is it merely a concept, eternally to be determined, determined by fate?
