Never meant to be

We can shoulder the weight of what can't be

By Chris SantiagoPublished 8 months ago 1 min read
Futility of Thought (Redeemed Series)

Oh the pain when our eyes meet

And I look away across the sea

Of all the things we never speak

Why does my heart swell then sink

Floating then I fell in a blink

Something Ill never tell but always think

======================================

Authors Notes:

I decided to keep the poem as is rather than force more lines to meet the 100 word requirement and add these notes to justify why. These words are important to me and I don't want to force more and spoil it. This is more for me and my own therapy than it is for posting and getting others to read it.

About the Creator

Chris Santiago

I've always found a bit peace and release in putting word to written medium. I'm by no means an accomplished wordsmith but I find enjoyment in it. My love for writing started from world building that being a dungeon master provided.
