The shadows of a secret misery,
Walk the path with strangers that are unknown,
The souls prowl the streets at night are blurry,
I am still not at peace yet nor alone.
Searching my thoughts hoping for an answer,
Along comes a fluttering sensation,
As if I have turned into a dancer,
Gasping my way across all creation.
Out of nowhere comes a familiar face,
Not even sure how to proceed with this,
Flaunting their way towards me with such grace,
I try to leave but I’m caught with a kiss.

Merge my life and emotion into theirs,

This person is the only one that cares.

I wrote this for an English assignment, and I really like it, and thought I did a great job, and this sort of poetry just sort of drained right out of me like a faucet. Hope you enjoy it as well!

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
