BEAUTIFUL BUT YET FADED AWAY
Spoken Word Poetry
Beautiful But Yet Faded Away
Smith Edasha
Too beautiful to fade away
But I guess it did
Thought it would last a lifetime
For you were my eternity
But I guess
It wasn’t written in the stars
Coz if it was
You would never had walked away
I pictured myself in your future
But you pictured us in your past
Sleepless nights waiting for your call
Just watching the clock ticks by
Hoping maybe you would look at your phone
Hoping just maybe you would see
The text messages I sent you
Hoping you will remember
The memories we shared
And just maybe your heart will pump
Into mine once more
You see
You taught me love
You taught me to fight
You taught me to be brave
You taught me to be strong
You taught me to face my fears
But you never taught me to cope
When you were no longer here
I just wish you did
Paradise I dreamt
With you I went
But l guess I had to wake up
From my dream
Now you are no longer
That sparkle I wish to see
You are no longer that shadow
I wish to see
You destroyed the beauty
That once glowed
My regret is the fact that
You never taught me to cope
With your absence
Coz if you did
I will be okey.
