Two Chapters Of A Dream Poem by Kevin Carney

Did you forget everything I told you?
You do remember what I said about you?
It’s cold and lonely right now.
In the darkness of night,
so sullen and silent I have become.
I look back at the time we had…
I thought you were everything I could ever want.
You could be difficult but, I really didn’t care.
Maybe I thought we had it all,
at least that what I thought.
I told you my most inner secrets,
my fears I opened up to you.
So trusted and loved, I fell for you.
I didn’t really think it was going to end one day.
I tried my best too keep us together,
little that I knew you would go away.
So slow I was to see,
it wasn’t going to be forever.
I am still in love with you;
just don’t know how I am not going to fall to pieces.
You know who I am; I didn’t leave it a secret.

I am not sure where this is going right now.
Will it just float away, with the rising tide?
Should I have opened myself up so much?
I thought I could see it all,
so clear I thought it might be.
Can we just talk this all over before,
it all ends up dead?
So much and then everything I wanted,
I am holding on you by a thread.
I realize that I am living on borrowed time,
just don’t know if I can let go.
All I can do is take one last stab and what was there,
I hope it’s still slightly there.
I still look at you face and can’t imagine when its not there….
Maybe we can take this time and try to live like there is not another day.
A walk on the beach,
still holding hands as the wave’s crash upon the shore.
A night sitting in the moonlight night,
deep in warm embrace of two lovers…
Just being so close together,
