Lyra Mae Borrega Poems

Like a shooting star in a starless night sky
A sudden flash of light in the dark
It was only for an instant, but its absence left a hollow feeling
Like a dream unfulfilled
...

Staring out the window and looking at the sky
Revisiting memories of days gone by
Holding back tears, trying hard not to cry
Remembering that faithful day you said goodbye
...

I walk the streets with your goodbye
Traversing aimlessly under an overcast sky
Accompanied by thoughts of you
Passing by familiar places, seeing them anew
...

I can't swim, but I crossed the ocean.
I'm afraid of heights, but I climbed a mountain.
I'm scared of falling, but I took the plunge.
Head first, I fell but broke my heart instead;
...
