As The Breeze Blows *Poetry*

As The Breeze Blows...

I sit there alone,

The tears falling fast,

Trying my hardest,

To forget the past.

The memories are painful,

And the tears continue to flow.

I let them fall freely,

As the wind blows.

It makes me cry harder,

For I am reminded of you.

The moments we spent together,

Many happy, and sad quite a few.

I go back to the day,

When you promised we'd never be apart.

I close my eyes as I smile through my tears,

The harsh reality strikes then and I open them with a start.

Everything is just as it were that day,

The wind, our bench and out tree.

And yet, nothing feels the same,

For you are no longer there with me.

You're a liar, my dear,

For you left me after all.

And all that remains now is a memory,

Of that cherished day during fall.

"I am aweary, aweary,

I would that I were dead!"

These lines come to mind,

As I remember Mariana that we read.

The tears have almost dried,

As I sit there reflecting, so keen,

Upon the moments that were,

And those that could have been.

The wind has become gentle,

Just a blowing breeze,

Howling and whistling no more,

But silently blowing through the trees.

I feel it as your caress,

As if it were no other, as the sky turns blue,

Wiping away my tears,

And telling me to move on without you.

I stand up then, feeling so much stronger,

It's you and I just know,

Your presence will forever be around,

And I smile as the breeze blows.

It was written in memory of someone I knew for a brief while. I wrote in as an imaginary perspective though.

Thank you for reading!
