“Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift.”

― Mary Oliver


and this
longer letter later
is comprised of
heartless goodbyes
wrenching like ugly
forgotten,confused and painted
dreams, where the world is lost
behind the faint red behind my closed
eyelids, and I’d ask you
later
I’d ask you not to
worry
not to listen to every whisper
in the wind
you will not hear me
you will feel me
in the sunlight
shining like
God’s
blown buds,
now barren
flowers

Great alliteration in this. I also like the reoccurring "later"s lol

This is beautiful. I've read it three times, and I still get new things out of it. You did a great job of making this poem different for whoever is reading it. I absolutely love it! It would be great if you could read a poem or two of mine and comment on them. =)
