An Ode To The Past Poem by Alexzandria Samonte

Feathers floating in the air
came out of nowhere
glitters sparkling in my arms and my face
couldn't find the trace
your name everywhere

I wish you were here by my side
embracing your soul too hard
holding on to what might have been
where have you been?

I can see you everywhere
I love you in revere
the obscurity of your absent caricature
filling in the empty space in between

You keep on pushing me away
just like a storm to a sunny day
wanting to go away
But I am here my love,
my strength comes from my heart

You keep on opening up doors
to those who wanted to stay
testing who will fray
when they have a taste of your wickedness

But I am different
I am irrelevant to your storm
coz I carry your sun in my home
I give you my hand
despite your volcanic flare

But I run out of air
I am now gasping for hope
looking in despair
I am in dust and particles
holding down your face

Last minute of my breath
I'm ready to say goodbye
I have no regrets
I am rooted in your past
I love you and will always do.
