Reality Now

A Poem by terry smith

Every night for the last six months...
...nearing
 exhaustion
 heart
 racing,
 body
 covered 
in 
sweat,
frantically 
try
 to
 reach 
you...
I run
 into 
consciousness
screaming
my
 heart 
pounding
bed
 soaking
 wet
I search
 desperately 
for you
in the darkness
but
 your 
not
 there
and you haven't been
for a very long time

sometimes...they never are there, especially when needed most. And i hate when I'm not there for them... when I know they must need me, even if it isn't when they need me most.

Very strong work. I can feel the anxiety and pain in the words. Well done.

was the layout intentional to the poem being about searching because the set up is perfect. leaves me hanging to pick back up in all the right spots making the feeling of desperate looking real. good yob ese!
