Stuck Poem by Knoxy Tomar

Stuck

Today the sky is darker and the stars are blur
Stuck in a trance, I stare into the emptiness thinking of what we were
The Moonless night stares back and traps me in its gloomy maze
Without my moon to show me the light, I pointlessly continue to gaze
Once there was a someone in my night
The one whom I looked up to in my desperate need of light

The stars try to guide me out
As I search for water in this endless drought
They scream and shout, trying to show me the way
But their pleas die in the distance as they are very far away
Blind in the darkness, scared and afraid
Dying of thirst I continue to step forward, reluctantly trusting my fate

After what felt like an eternity, the sun starts to rise
A thin boundary separates me and the bright sunlight
My blinded eyes gain back their vision
But when I look back one final time, I realize I have to make a decision
There hangs the crescent moon, the one I've always loved
But I remember how it had been watching me drowning in the flood
It could've pulled me out but it stayed hidden in the clouds and never budged

Several times has it broken my trust
But yet here I stand on the boulevard of my broken dreams, still waiting for us
My angry eyes are swollen and red
I look at it again hanging from heaven on a single thread
Its beauty and virtue pleads and screams when I turn
Tears In my eyes, I unstably start to run

I stop at the boundary that separates day and night
Gaping over the blazing yellow sun that shines so bright
I look one more time again, hoping to find a full beautiful moon
But it still hides its true self, knowing full well my patience will end soon
The thriving light penetrates the darkness and starts dragging me out
Still looking at it expectantly, wanting to see its true form, one final time I shout.
