Headstall's Reflections - 16. Chapter 16-Poetry prompt 15- Alone and Fallen Stars
Yeah... one of those days...
Headstall’s Reflections
Chapter 16
Alone
Surrounded by loved ones, I am adrift
A numbness pervades
A barrage of emotions impossible to sift through
So, I don’t—I can’t
Why should I—let them have their way with me
Instead, I detach myself
Choose to smile
Force myself to listen
Pretend I am part of the conversation
But—I am somewhere else
It isn’t a better place
Just a different place
And the only one there—is me
Fallen Stars
I had dreams
I think I still do
But it’s hard not to think
What’s the point?
I can see the finish line
The young should always reach for the stars
I did
But most of them have fallen
They now litter my memories
And I’m not sure I want to wish on another one
That me I’ve always known, though
Yeah… he would
Where the hell is he?
I need him
