Slowly Drifting Away Poem by Yassar Ali

Slowly Drifting Away

Rating: 5.0


I ask you with searching eyes what you would do
If one day true love had decided to give up on you
Would you write your true love a love letter
To somehow try to make things a little better
From an outside view I look through the scope
Seeing our relationship scattered I lose hope
Maybe our relationship is broken beyond repair
The scaffold that held us together has begun to tear
This failing relationship cannot stand its ground
I fear one wrong move could bring it falling down
I could lay out a safety net for us to safely land
But your instincts would refuse my helping hand
I tried but I couldn't explain to you how I felt
Education wasted as my vocabulary began to melt
You didn’t understand my words so I gave you a kiss
For a kiss speaks every language to translate this
Today was the day the kiss of life failed me
The life has left your lips leaving them empty
Your lips felt cold as though love had took flight
Soaring through the wind into the hollow night
I tell you that it hurts me more than it hurts you
Yet you disagree saying there’s nothing you can do
When you will feel the burn you will compromise
For you will know you're seeing through my eyes
I don’t want to let you go but I know I must
As our relationship burns into scattered dust
I search these ruins for a relic to keep
None in sight I lose control and begin to weep
You don’t need to give a testimony for me to hear
A witness like a broken heart made the case clear
You watched our relationship fall apart
I wonder was it all a lie from the start?

Some good rhyming lines and an interesting story make this very readable. It seems that it is another love tragedy. Common, but each one varies a little. GW62
