Submissions by Cerxa (David Cerxa)

I see you nearly every day,
Yet never is there anything to say.
Still I sit here, very meek,
Waiting for that chance to speak.

Days, weeks, and even months pass,
Hoping the words will come fast.
Another day brings great sorrow,
Maybe the time will be tomorrow.

I wake up with great belief,
That today will bring much relief.
I walk to school with a hefty smile,
Shutting out all my denial.

Hours pass and now it's time,
To finally say what's on my mind.
Now the moment I have feared,
Only to find, you're not...

I often find myself remembering,
The great times we once had.
These thoughts leave me quivering,
My mind gone mad.

I didn't mean what I said,
Nor mean to make you cry.
Your voice seared inside my head,
When you said that last goodbye.

Every time I think of you,
Your lips, hair, and eyes,
I wish that it weren't true,
So I wouldn't have to cry

If only I could go back,
To change the course of time.
But these skills I lack,
Preserving my fateful crime.

You've left and made me coarse,
Cutting my heart out with...

My soul is dark,
Filled with regret.
I need a new start,
But can't take the first step.

Who will help me,
In these sad times.
To deplete this misery,
before the final line.

I'm losing hope,
Please come fast.
I'm starting to choke,
With each day to pass.

I wait, but you never arrive
Although I do beg,
I've yet to realize...
I've only asked in my mind.
