scented hair

[colicolo]

'this piece was inspired by 'Stop All the Clocks' by W H Auden

remove from the shoes all of the laces
cause your not here to hang around
plaster over every pipe in the ceiling
the echoes of your laughter are no where to be found

hide all the razors and scissors away
because something deep is cut from my life
round off all the sharp edges
without you there is only endless strife

you were the reason that I awake
but I will never again feel you near
i am overcome with a jealous heart
without the comfort of your scented hair I live in fear

you have always been the one that shines from far away
but you can no longer shimmer in my dark direction
i desperately love you to much to ever release this hate
but i can not stand to exist nor live without your affection

so lock up all the sleepy medicine
place a bible in every draw in every room
if you care then pray that it will stop me
from trying to escape this hollow heart full of gloom

for the inspiring girl that I so intensely once loved
has taken my heart as she fell from life's slippery ledge
I can not be in constant envy of what'll never be mine again
trapped in a lonely soul echoed voices have carried me to the edge

That was really touching...I don't have anything else to add, thanks for sharing.

In one of your other threads I said you sounded like you were in love, and this poem suggests a great love in your life has come to an end. Or perhaps I'm reading too much into things?

Everything passes...

I like these lines, especially the phrasing of the second line:

you have always been the one that shines from far away
but you can no longer shimmer in my dark direction
