Grace Poem by Bilal Raja

Grace

Rating: 5.0


You linger in my thoughts and in my sleep
When I drink and when I eat
In my nightmares and in my dreams
Every time I talk, every time I breathe

I’m so close and yet so far
Are we together or are we apart?
Are we apart of something bigger then this?
Bigger then this ‘love’ that’s only see through the mist

Do you realise how hard it is
Walking up these lonely stairs
Knowing that when you reach the top
There’s going to be no-one there that cares

Friends is maybe all we’re supposed to be
The truth is, you’ll never be close to me
I feel you should have made the most of me
Regret it when the world decides to dispose of me

But the game has been settled, I’ve heard the score
The rejections have hurt I can’t take many more
I have lost, I have lost and furthermore
I don’t want to wake up on my own anymore

Bilal, all is beautiful if you add a bit of positive note in your poems. At the top of the triangle you are alone, As come down multiple images moan. One can't play, two can't tolerate, So, hang between love and hate! CP

the hardest thing about styles like this is the soul. the soul of the writer is hard to capture and of all of your poems i have read it has that soul

Written straight from your heart with a melancholy edge. I liked the last stanza as your outcome is well decided. Great work. Karin Anderson
