POEM STARTER
Out of Reach
Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.
When You Coming My Way
It’s been an hour
It’s been a day
It’s been a year
I’ve been waiting to see your scared face
When you coming again
So I can see your eyes
Hear your voice
See you light up the world
With your smile and your jokes
Stuck in time
Can’t go nowhere
Lost in space
Life is a mess
Stuck in a darkness
Can’t find my way
I need help
When you coming my way
Saw your mother again
Said I was no good
Told me to die off
Her son deserved better
Trying to find ya
You keep disappearing
Gone like your dead
I’m going to find something
I find myself
Dressed in black
Stuck in time
Can’t go nowhere
Lost in space
Life is a mess
Stuck in a darkness
Can’t find my way
I need help
To find you
When you coming my way
Growing old
Listening to a cassette
You gave me last Christmas
Remembering the old times
The stories you told
My casket a waiting by yours
Until my light comes back
My darkness spreads
My soul empty
Been told to put up my act
Start acting like an adult
Even though I’m 32
No one to help calm me
During the dark storm
Making a list of all the things I hate
Wanting to be with you
No matter how I can
Crying everyday till I’m empty
Wanting to know if you loved me
Stuck in time
Can’t go nowhere
Lost in space
Life is a mess
Stuck in a darkness
Can’t find my way
I need help
I want to die
When you coming my way
To help me disappear
Sitting on the ledge
Where we first met
Wanting to follow you into the unknown
It’s been a day
I want to see your beautiful face over and over again
When you coming my way
In time I go
To see you again
I’m growing old
Goodbye to people who hate me
And your mother who
Told me good riddance
You came to pick me up
Your face the same I remember
Light is in the final breath
And it’s the end of it
The end of my darkness
Now I’m next to you forever till the end of time
When you coming my way
