BROKE; THE POEM BY LA'QUILL written by Gilliland Emmanuel


 Without death

We can never know what life is worth

Turmoil of experiences 

Made me realize I never knew reality

So I hold on to the moments and the memories we shared

You have wounded my heart

And now it's cold an tinted

All the tears I cry

Yet I wish you could love me enough to stay

The future is not certain 

And Tomorrow is no guarantee

But All I have is memories from yesterday 

And so I hold on to the light that filled my soul

I bless the day I found you

Everyone has their life's to live

Some times it's high

Sometimes it's low

But I choose too, live mine not without you

And so why take this heaven away from me

the only thing in life that is promised is death

So for every today I have left I wish it will be with you

Hope begins in the dark

And the echoes of the past

But faith is the burden that brings light

To the future that is yet to come

2nd chances are earned in the choices we make

And as sand passes through the hour glass of time, so are my days

And for this, I will never be the same

As death gives meaning to life

My heart is hopeless and 

My world torn apart with no insight

Longing for a life with you

Under the rain, I await the rising of the sun

As I walk in this space of life

I have tried to be strong and carry on 

but damn this hurts

The world is dark and strange at the same time

But I hold my thoughts and moment with you 

As I truly try to find my way home

while I Journey my path to 

God, Peace, Healing and maybe to find Love again 

We only have but a little time in the world

And we must live our marks in the lives that we change

I hope I did leave a little with you 

These are my darkest times

For the nights will not let me sleep without dreams of you and 

My days wont go by without thoughts of you

I have planned for the future

And failed to see the present falling apart

Maybe I'm hoping for something 

I can't explain 

Life is Leaving me with too many questions

And the answers I get are from my experiences be it tears, pain, or even happiness 

I'm in the other side of letting go

Because this thing called life must go on

So I water my stem

You might not believe me

But trust me when I say

My love for you will exist in everything I do

And the sensation of loving you

Will make our souls cross path

Maybe once again.

Because you are still what I want

And you are still all that I need

And I can only but 

Wish you could see me even once again

For without you I'm lost

With no directions on what to do

Yet here I am

Looking for the stars

Hoping it will lead you back to me
