Caitlin: goodnight kiss

by Andrew S Adams

your presence confuses
what i have in mind
i want to say this
but have no words to find
if you could just be there
sitting in silence
right next to me
stuck in that moment
how could i leave
you to be on
the seat right there
right next to mine
i couldnt move and
i couldnt breathe and
i couldnt let myself
do anything
and you astound me
you confound me
you just can be
all i cant be
and it feels so hollow
to have had you so close
and to not let you know
exactly how i felt

and all i could muster
was one goodbye kiss
soon thereafter
i wonder if you feel like this
sit in the splendor
of my own shy life
and let dashboard
just sing me goodnight.
how i wish it was you.

And I have managed to find yet another touching poem. This one hurts though...

It sounds like instant loneliness after you leave someone or that feeling you get when you do leave and go home and it's a sudden "I miss them already" kinda feeling...it's so strong and descriptive...I definitely felt that one. Great work!

this is a piece with beauty like the stars. how i wish these words didn't ring so much, whether or not the bells are as special as they seem.
