Losing My Midnight Sun (2) Poem by Jessica Price

As I Wait for sleep to Drag me under
I Remember holding you in the suffocating darkness,
My Mind Scurries from the thought
But my heart yearns To Relive The Bitter Delight.

I remember Wanting to mold Our hands Together
To Never Let Go,
To Always feel this way.
Just us alone in the Crushing Darkness.

I Remember our Eyes Locking at Midnight.
And in the usually Fathomless Depths of your Eyes,
I can hear the unspoken Words.
Words that will send the world into a kaleidoscope of Emotion.


Your Kiss Lingers on my Lips
As My Heart continues to beat wildly.
Your back is Cast in Shadows by the Street Lamps Glare,
As you Walk away, Into the cold Night.

My parents Tear Filled eyes the next day
Terrifies Me.
I Brace myself for the worst
Which I Can never anticipate.

My Mother begins to talk, To tell me,
But as I slide to the floor
One tiny Moan is all to escape my frozen lips
And I cannot Hear over the Blood Rushing in my Ears.

He didn't suffer, She says, Over and over,
Cradling me to her Chest
Like an Infant
While Vicious Sobs Rip from my chest.

No.
But haunted by the memories
Of You.
I will.
