Is It You? Poem by Phillip Ball

Is it you?

Will you be the one to pick up the pieces?

Please tell me

I'm trapped in mire,

Drowning in tears,

Coughing blood.

I'm shattered and broken

The poison was fetal.

It left me paralyzed.

It left me numb.

Left me for dead.



Is it you?

The one that I have been waiting for.

Please tell me.

Will your smile be the one to replace hers

Will your touch be enough.

Enough to wipe her from my thoughts

Enough to wipe her from my dreams.

Will you take the pain away

Will you be my Angel?

The anticipation drives me mad.

Will I taste your lips?

Will they be the key.

Will I no longer be torn by the lost of her.







Is it you,

Or this just another mirage.

Please tell me.

Is this all a false hope.

Are you just another meaningless fling,

That will only highlight her worth.

Others have tried to replace her.

But they failed.

Their pure love and just intentions couldn't save me,

And only proved to cripple me.

And they were forced to watch,

As I continued to die.





Is it you?

The one that will give me hope?

Please tell me.

Please Be the one.

Show me that there are others.

Show me that it's possible to move on.

You don't have to be perfect,

Just enough.

You don't have to be my happily ever after.

Just show me there's life after her,

Give me hope.

Tell me you're the one.
