This is my first attempt at a non-rhyming poem.
Enjoy!

I saw him
Once

A ship amongst a sea of storms
My heart is breaking
I saw the lights go out as you fell away from me

(she loved you)

You were a frantic shadow in my life
Darting, Running, Swearing, Fighting
I saw you move further from me
And your voice could whisper death upon my heart

(my time has come)

But then the rain came
It fell sweet and cool against hot words
Angry words meant to hurt

(please don’t be mad)

I sit alone above my dreams
No longer can I hear you
The cries, the shots, the chants are gone
I am alone with the wind

(but remember me)

We can recall what it was we had
Before all this
Before the pain and the sorrow
Deep down, all we wanted

Was to be wanted ourselves
