William King Jr. Poems

Night life slowly fades into the dawn
And the man in the west moon now sleeps
Dreams soon set themselves aside
And the reality of the day sets in
...

You bleed pain like a hemophiliac with a slit wrist.
I try to add loving pressure but you resist.
You bleed on everyone around you forcing onto them your pain.
You don't care who you bleed around.
...

There are nights
When I sit up in my bed
Tears streaming down my face
Because I know you aren’t there
...

At night I sit and cry
As the memories of you play in my head
What I wouldn't give to have you with me
None of it matters, you are dead
...

Visions as I look in the mirror
I always stare at your picture
Thinking back on all the fun we had
Now my soul feels sad
...

Who is the one to say that all can't be forgiven?
To condemn me to sorrow and a life of regret?
To make my life not ever worth living
And make my love not worth the get?
...

I tread lightly down the guided path
The image of her still burns within my mind
Her soul lost, cold and tortured
Forever in immortal pain
...

All alone on this barren Earth I walk
My legs never tiring from my unforgiving pace
Everyone around me is gone so I don't talk
A hardened look of cold is burned into my face
...

The night lasts forevermore as the sun drifts away
Darkness grows by the second as the night takes over the day
Cold once again rules supreme as heat slowly dies
Evil lurks all around as the hope for good dies
...

These same four walls surround me
Day in and day out
All day, everyday
These same four white walls
...
