Rhymes - 2. Carousel

Prompt 328: First Line: “You expect me to believe that?”

You expect me to believe that?

 

That we were simply character development

In a tragic tale of love and loss?

That you were merely the preamble to more?

That I will come up stronger after the war?

 

Where, then, is the passing of this storm

That rages inside me?

Where, then, is my saviour

My drowning wreckage, he pulls me from?

Where, then, are my golden rays of hope

To pierce through this shroud of grief?

 

There are days I walk the streets,

And the sun warms my skin.

And every smile, a silent win.

And yet, a word, a name, a place,

Remembers the same face,

A slam on the brakes.

 

We shouldn’t,

I shouldn’t,

Drag you back into this carousel of heartbreak.

The same painted horses,

The same melodies,

Going round in circles.

The ride always ends.

 

And yet, here I am again,

My heart on paper,

My tears in words.

Prompt 328: First Line: “You expect me to believe that?”

Wow. Totallyy, you are so talented. This poem and your first one are fantastic. The words just bring so many memories to the front of my mind. And through the sadness, at least I know that there are people out there that felt the same feelings I felt when their heart was torn into bits and pieces.

 

Keep writing, Totallyy - you have such a gift.

 

Thank you for sharing.
