Come back!

A poem about love, loss and heartbreak!

 

My heart races

My blood pumps

My heart aches

 

No!

No!

 

You are mine

I need you

You needed me

 

You are my air, yet you are gone

Now I am suffocating

 

Help me!

Help me!

 

I am nothing

I will shrivel into an empty shell

 

It is happening

I am hollow

I am lifeless

I am nothing

 

Come back to me!

Come back to me!

 

My heart is gone

And I feel it

I feel it every day

 

Yet you do not care

You have thrown me away like I am nothing

You do not feel this pain

This ache

This nothingness

 

I feel it all!

I feel it all!

 

You are light

While I am stuck in the darkness

You wander

While I hover

 

Did our love mean anything to you?

Was I just a plaything?

Something to pass the time?

You were not any of that to me

You were my life

My light

My love

 

I love you!

I love you!

The intensity of NOW!!! and the silence of later... What I want is what I WANT and your wants don't count - today. As we "become" - todays expand into tomorrows and beyond (for some) and the intensity remains though often at a lower background level... we share wants and haves and other less important things... we have company to share our paths and sea walls... and sunsets aren't lonely times - just quiet ones.

Take care in Oz.

Another very strong poem and one I think others can relate to some degree. I know I felt something like this recently so this poem struck home a bit.

Thank you

The cries of a person's longing is greatly depicted here. The anguish and pain can truly be felt as each line proves to have greater emotions flowing within them. A fantastic piece!

[Coyote Poetry]

Powerful emotion and desire in the poem. When heartbreak take over. A desperate cry for help and need to understand can take over. I like the flow of the poem and the strong ending. A excellent poem.

Raw. Both the language and the content are exposed, bare, simple and empathetic. The message is clear and universal. Ouch. I'd love to "hear" this recited. I think it would make a powerful performance piece...
