Paul M. Mayer Poems

What is going on with me,
I am suffering, why can’t you see
I swim in blood all day and night
Waiting for her to be my light
...

A wisp of darkness engulfs the light
As I slip into this dark night
A night I won’t recover from
No matter how hard I try to run.
...

Trapped I am inside myself
my blood is black, I am not well,
my mental status is intact,
Although I can't get over one fact
...

The word Forever is a lie
When darkness comes, and light is neigh,
Because her hand lets go of mine
And my face it does not shine
...

I remember so clearly the day I first met her
Feelings so real I was sure
But then she did leave like a bird in the winter
My mind stuck on her like a burr
...

I can’t explain the way I felt when you were by my side
Those times we spent together then our souls they did collide
I also can’t put into words the emptiness inside
‘cause when you left me here alone a part of me did die
...
