Thirst

A thirst needs to be quenched.
Words swallowed up are rising.
I am sorry I let you go.
I am so sorry.
I pay for it everyday.
I do not have enough courage.
I think about you everyday.
I cannot hurt anyone anymore
and I cannot be hurt anymore.
What can I do?
The inner tears leak.
I become sheer and blue.
What should I do?

Enjoy.

Very deep and well done with the title.. So many layers of meanings with a so simple word...
Good job!

Beautiful and very emotion. I think we have all been in this dark place at some point in our lives.

I'll tell you what you should do: Keep writing poetry, you have a gift. :)

Very nice =) I can relate to this, very much so.

This poem is reminiscent of unspoken love and the resulting feelings of sadness and doubt that arise out of not knowing if you should tell someone how you feel (and risk rejection). You did a great job of summing up the feelings in only a few lines!

I can relate to this poem, the feel of a lost love...is not something you can forget very quickly...well done, love the poem

An interesting structure, your words are always one step ahead of us, they keep us guessing. I enjoyed the repetitions, they work well for the piece. Thank you for sharing!
