Mist~ Poem by Matthew English

Mist~



As you disappear into the distance I can’t help but close my eyes,
as you dissipate into the wind, the same current that blows the tears from my face
I reach into the distance; that grows larger every second that goes by,
evaporating into the mist that clouds over our fate.
The light at the end of the tunnel slowly fades into darkness;
the darkness that surrounds me and feasts away at my longing;
just to have you by my side again.
My sad eyes blurred from the tears that stream down my cheeks
into the river you so comfortably sail.
i scream out into the night, like a wolf to the moon.

All i can hold onto is the hope; the hope you’ll turn back-
and bring closure, or so i can just see your smiling face one last time.
