A Simple Room Poem by Haley Akin

In a simple room
with its red painted sill
and dark blue walls
I dreamt of you.

Cradling each memory
fearing if loosed
would drift
I held on tight.

Covered with thick
hopelessness
silently I searched
for reprieve.

Reluctantly
packed away
priceless treasures
from sight.

Masking walls
with colors of green
blocking pain
from seeping through.

Needing a dream
to be dreamt again...
comes hope
for a simple room.
