This Blog is dedicated to Dr. Beth Crachiolo, now the chair of the English and Theatre Department of Berea College. Beth is truly a wonderful person, and one hell of a teacher! For whatever reason, she seems to believe in my aptitude as a writer and has made it perfectly clear, on more than one occasion, that to not write would be a waste. So I am trying to do something I've never attempted before. Starting today, April 20, 2010, I will try very hard to post at least one new poem a day for 1 year. I'm sure most of them will be utter crap, but you never know when the muse might strike. Please feel free to respond to any post at anytime, I value constructive comments.

Rejection After Midnight

I'm Tired, so this one may not make sense in the Morning, please excuse typos and spelling/grammar capitalization errors...



Rejection After Midnight


Alone I spend too many midnights staring into the void of my eyelids
Their darkness is no longer a comfort to my sorrow
Each lingering breath echoes through me like the wind over the sea
I feel the icy fingers of fading memories slide along my body
I shiver with each movement, unable to control my actions

Finally one memory prevails, and the darkness fades away
the dawn is breaking on a new day in my heart
bathed in the warmth, my body tingles as the light swallows my soul
each breath quickens, chased by yet another
I see your face, in a heavenly glow, and I know that you are with me

I open my eyes and see that it was only a dream
only the pillows keep the cold night out of our bed
I look around the room, but I know you are not there
You Can’t be, you left me, you left me here alone
to die each night of heartache, to drown myself with tears

You said that you could love me, you said that I was the one
You said we could be together, now and forever
I gave you my heart, I handed it over no questions asked
I trusted you and I loved you too, I pledged to you my all
But that wasn’t enough I guess, I couldn’t give you everything you need

I remember the day you left my world, the day the sun refused to shine
I fell asleep wrapped tight in your arms and awoke tangled in the sheets
No more heat was left in them, Your scent have long since gone
There was no explanation, just the colorless truth that I wasn’t the one
I remember this day well, and live it again each morning I wake up without you

Why did you leave me, what did I do wrong
wasn’t you in love with me, wasn’t that love strong
Why leave without a whisper like a shadow in the night
Why leave me no comfort in the morning’s light
I cannot deserve this, why am I the one to cry
why am I still suffering, Oh GOD why can’t I just die!
