Morning Poem

You have read Manny Beltran's poems and seen his art here and elsewhere. His untitled poem appeared here as part of Contributor Series 5: Dramatis Personae and his art will grace the cover of the first contributor series anthology (set to be released any minute!). In this poem he describes waking up to a sad reality and the way that reality takes over the day. 

Morning Poem 
By Manny Beltran
Your face woke me again
It dissolved with the haze of the morning
My eyes aching to see you beside me
but my heart turned heavy at the truth

I am a lost child in the wilderness
Grasping for sense when there is none
Counting down the hours
When it will all finally pass me by

Will you sail your way home to me
On the ocean of tears that I cried
And find me waiting on this lonely shore
Of my endless love for you

You were my religion
And I followed you so blindly
Trusting in your every word
And now I have lost all my faith
