Its getting dark
alone
afraid
as the stars
fill the sky
the moon takes position
high above
I sit here
looking
staring into emptiness
my eyes wide open
Im waiting
though all I feel
Is numb
alone
scared
the room dark
only light
from the moon
though doesnt enter the room
shadows of the curtains
linger on the floor
the lonely flower
sitting paitently
on that dear window ledge
I feel for it
as It stays there
Is it waiting
for water
or for someone
to come along
and make it grow
are we the same
I have a glass of water
do I pour it in
in to the flower
why should I
im not waiting for a flower
its not waiting for me
alright
here you go
as I reach for my glass
lean over the flower
tilt the glass a little
more
and more
till the water is all gone
place the empty glass down
lean back
I sit and stare
alone and afraid
as the stars glow
and the moon shines
Im empty
sat here wondering
why cant I glow
as my heart wants to show
no magic
just glow
so you can see
see the love inside
I sit here
alone
dont know for how long
would you miss me
my eyes refuse to close
my body numb
I think to myself
will I be rescued
will you rescue me
bring your heart close
you wont its okay
alive I am
though
where I stare
I should be
will I be alone
and scared
up there
minutes
hours
days
dont know
how long
I have wished
you were right here
with me x

Hello, I am not a poet but I read this and thought it was a nice read. However, two things struck me. the first was '...sitting patiently on that dear window ledge.' A suggestion only ...'the flower sitting patiently alone on the window ledge' The other thing was 'were I stare' Do you mean 'where I stare' I hope these comments are helpful but feel free to ignore them if I have got the wrong end of the stick or have spoilt your poetic intentions. I'm no poet myself.
