Thinking of You

by Gypsy Blue Rose

 
 
Now I'm thinking —
it was a mistake
to call you the other day

You didn't answer your phone
'cause your old number
doesn't exist anymore

I lost the last line
to your heart

I'm holding on
to the silky web string
of my random thoughts

Our songs still stir
dreams of the past
and open wounds
that will never heal

I yearn to touch your face
while you hold me close
looking into my blue eyes

But you are nothing
but a ghost
living in the dusty hallways of my mind

Now I'm thinking —
I'm playing a loser's game
slave to the whims
of my melancholic heart

FREE VERSE is an open form of poetry, which in its modern form arose through the French vers libre form. It does not use consistent meter patterns, rhyme, or any musical pattern. It thus tends to follow the rhythm of natural speech.

Thank you for reading and reviewing my poem.
