Apart And Confused Poem by Dwayne Banks

(written for Ismael Moreno., incarcerated in Dallas County Detention Center Aug.7,2008)

A place with no sunshine, there's only pain
received your letter, its begun to rain
We have a history, though now just broken hearts
it's only because, we both have been apart
How can you say; I'm important, then you leave
when our love and understanding, let us both believe
I know we're both confused, being seperated and apart
there is a reason why, our love in part did start
It started with a look and a smile I did enjoy
so how come seperation is a word you do employ?
I know that your scared, yes, we're both confused
thinking I have done, has not kept me amused
I am all alone in a place that has my kind
your saying that your scared? that's just in your mind
The thoughts that you are having, seem to be one-sided
when in the past; my thoughts, in you; I have confided
Everything in life is subject to resignment
How can you do this, when I am in confinement?
You have spoke spiritually, in the past I do recall
so how come you have chosen, thoughts to make me fall
The selfish act has shown, you have just let go
don't forget, I Love You, my rain has turned to snow.
