Past Thoughts

A year ago I wrote my very first poem.

It is a somewhat immature and childish one, and it was written as an exercise in letting out emotions and feelings that an author should tap into, especially when trying to be honest.

I decided that I would be brave, and put it on my site regardless of what I think.

WHERE WERE YOU?

BY KERRIE SMITH  8/4/2018.

Where were you?

When my loneliness became so unbearable

That I screamed at the heavens

Hoping to be heard.

Where were you?

When despair took over my thoughts

And I cried myself to sleep

Every night.

Where were you?

When I wanted to share our past

Togetherness and

Cuddle.

Where were you?

When I was watching our kids

Growing

So quickly.

Where were you?

For the last Ten Years

When I needed you

So desperately.

Where were you?

Where are you?

Not here.
