Justin Gildow Poems

Everyone's gone now
And we're walking in the steady but irritating rain
And in your eyes
They have the marks of being tear stained
...

We run along the highways
And the cityscapes can be seen in the background
Transportation vehicles pass us by
Helicopters follow us as we run
...

Sneaking through the city
And everything's gone awry
We quickly and quietly move to our next destination
Our next safe haven
...

You and I are lovers
And along the way
Love and pain trade blows with one another
...

Total darkness surrounds me
I'm lost in the labyrinth
With a half-heart shaped pendant in my pocket
Dim light is what I see passably
...

On foot
It's been a long walk for the both of us
As well as racing through the park
As well as running through the streets
...

Locked up in a closet
Among the tore up room
We're playing 7 minutes in heaven
We hug and embrace
...

Another sleepless night
It's no use to sleep
So since I'm up
For the time being, I'll daydream
...

I look out my window
From where my apartment stands
The gray skies connect with me
In a way I can't explain
...

Come out from where you've been hiding
Open your eyes
The evil that's been stalking the streets has met its demise
Yet the city lays in ruins
...
