Shattered by faith

I drive by your lonely eyes
staring into nothing,
trying desperately to look 
at nowhere;
Alone.

Is that me?
Driving by,
or looking into 
a vacant tomorrow
on flickering screen.

You refuse to see
me standing here
tentative hands
wanting to hold
your anything.

Your safety 
in yesterday's failed promise.
Shattered by faith
that life will 
go on.

  3. Thanks guys. I really liked that last stanza too. I finished the poem and had to say "whoa" to myself. I like when that happens :)
