Palm Trees. Swaying in an endless breeze.
On an ocean. How I wish I were there. How I wish my life were simple.
But it’s not.
And I’m not there.
I’m here.
In an abandoned house. Lying on a mattress in a blank room.
With a framed palm tree paradise.
This was my worst nightmare.
Being alone.
Without anyone.
Without he.
He who created me. He who made me who I am. He who changed me.
How I wish was with him. How I wish I was in his arms.
But I’m not.
And I’m not with he.
I’m here.
With some palm trees. And no he to comfort me.
Without he in this house. To bring light with his laugh. To bring hope to our past.
How I wish there was light. How I wish there was sound.
But there’s not.
And I’m left in a blank room, with some palm trees.

I feel as though this poem reserves a part of my soul and I hope that you find the emotional connection that I did within the forbidden script.

I was literally about to say the same thing as Sugar. It's a great piece, lining mainly on the emotional connection to what we all hate: Lonliness. I know that people put "Made me cry" when it implies to a sad-ish poem, but this should be genuine. Most people refuse to even consider the fact that lonliness isn't by choice in some cases, sometimes it's a mandatory condition. Srry XD I got waaaay of my soapbox here. good job and I can totally relate

Where is personal gain and perseverance without a couple failures?

I could feel the emotion and depth. This piece is painfully beautiful!
