Turned To Dust Poem by Josiah Decker

I have turned to dust and gone away.
Those tears I cried that day, have blow away.
I am weaker willed than you think I am.
Strength has come and passed over again.
You want something I can't give, for I have given myself all away.

The wind takes me away.

I cried for years, for people who didn't care.
I wanted to love a person that never gave love back
That trust I gave was broken time and time again.
So, here I stand with a shattered halo, hurt pride, and tender heart.

I say my pride is strong.
My pride is weaking with each passing day.
I want to say, ask, scream questions everyday.
I am too afraid to even whisper it.
I was here one day, now I am somewhere else.

I have turned to dust and gone away.
Those tears I cried that day, have blow away.
I am weaker willed than you think I am.
Strength has come and passed over again.
You want something I can't give, for I have given myself all away.

The wind takes me away.
The wind took me away.
