The Word Poem by Javier Falcon

You just walk away into the night,
away from these feelings I have for you,
deep into a darkness I cannot grasp,
farther and farther away from me,
as your memories become blurs,
leaving me locked away in the back,
as you no longer seem to care,
my feelings meaning less than the air,
which you take for granted everyday,
a medium of life you take away from me,
as you always treated me like another,
when I just simple wanted you to ask,
just simply, "Who do you love? "
I would have taken you back to the beginning,
before you left me alone in the dark,
to the word that started this all.
