Love Poem: Sos

Sos

Where did our love go within a week?

What happened to all the empty promises you promised you would keep?

I apologize if I did something to push you back,

I guess open communication is still a skill we often lack,

Yea, it’s pretty obvious that we’re slowly diverging,

And the bitter feelings I thought were killed off are now emerging,

And the many smiles and laughs we once shared have turned to silence,

So I let the agony of this distance be my spiritual guidance,

You owe me nothing since we never even established a title,

Were all my “I love you’s” just a waste, is my existence still vital?

Is my embrace still your comfort? Are my kisses still wanted? 

Are the dreams of our uncertain future life still undaunted?

Does my voice still excite you? Do you still treasure my smile? 

Or am I now faced with the bitter truth that I’ve gone out of style....

Either way I’m signaling for you, waving my heart up to the sky,

Hoping you see my S.O.S. without turning a blind eye.
