Dusty Poems 29

Dusty Poems, a poetry series

This is the last poem in the Dusty Poems series, which includes a collection of poems I wrote many years ago before I realized how much poetry would take over my life.

Empty your pockets
of the strength you stole from me.
Pardon my indiscretion,
my blindness was no excuse
for what I failed to see.

The temptation of being happy
admittedly neglected to forewarn
of the price.

Who hasnโ€™t grown so empty
that they forget to tell themselves
the lies that get them through the day?
I forgot just moments ago.
Did you not see that I was faking
the sense of everything?

Did my silent cries not reach your heart
or were they too deafening to rock
your soul out of sync with my own?
