Senses (OctPoWriMo2015-Day 30)

I can still feel you near

But I can't touch you

What such despair!

I can't see you anymore

And the tears blur my vision

Can't figure out what all this is for

I remember your smell

But now your scent is gone

And there's nothing left to tell

I can still hear your voice

It's in my head all the time

But I'm forced to do without it, I don't have a choice

I have the bitter taste of regret

Just sitting there on my tongue

But there's no going back, time is already set...

The Day Before (OctPoWriMo2014)-Day 30

It was the day before and only if I'd known

That it was the day before my disaster

How funny it is when everything seems normal

Then all of a sudden your whole life changes

We're never really prepared for the day that alters us

That way, we can't hold our breath

Or stand our ground

But it was the day before

And God! It it took me down!

There was fire and brimstone

And coal and smoke

I tried to hold my nose but it wasn't enough

This day was written in my destiny 

To make me who I am

And I wouldn't take it back

Because I would forfeit it all

It was the day before

And I wasn't ready for that fall!

But goodness gracious I'm glad that I tumbled

Because here I am to tell about it

And I can say it all was worth it

I needed to fall

I needed to stumble 

Disaster saved my life

And I am still here because of that moment

Thanks to the day before

For being my worst component
