19.

NAPOWRIMO Post 1

I hate you all in your hand holding mockery
as I hide from him in my screen of grey smoke
I too once loved the callouses and warmth of our hands entwined

but not now

The sunshine warms and brings smiles to their lips
I purse mine in a slow steady exhale

I want to scream to yell and cry but no good could come of such whines
where is my spring this year locked away in a box of memories
will a smile dance upon these puckered lips again?
will springs sun feel warm again I hope it will,

but not now

  4. I reeeeally like this poem. It's sad, but very hopeful. I'm a fan of repetitive lines, so "but not now" is my fave.
