Oh, dear. (Another sad poem?)

Yep, another one. Feel free to skip.

Oh, dear.

Oh, my.

Another mopey, whiney, bitchy, 'feel sorry for me' poem

Each time I jot one down at this time of night

But oh, dear.

Oh, my.

There are just pieces of my blue heart I can't seem to find.

I still have your old habits?

Isn't that tragic?

No one's crying yet?
They've heard it all before?

That's okay

I'm crying enough for all of you

I'm so worn

Listening to 'I Miss You' Blink 182 on repeat

Yes, okay, maybe I forgot to eat

Olivia Rodrigo, and I know I'm moving slow

They say move on

But your roots locked me here

I'm waiting

I'm looking for someone new

Someone to meet

But they don't have the same quirks you do

Everything they do is pull my hair out irritating

They don't have the quirks that helped me through

When the day coming felt like a death sentence

Did you hear they say

That you mentally freeze at the age you get famous?

I'm stuck at 16

When you discovered me

You're the only one that still happens to matter to me

I was famous in your eyes, if only for a short while.

Your footsteps, I keep an ear out

Because they're my favorite sound

I would say I wish I never met you

But without you

I'd be ten feet underground.

Author's Note

Yes, I wrote another mopey poem. Am I sorry? I don't really know. Hold tight while I struggle to churn out a poem about cotton candy and rainbows.

Reviews

[Silmara McGarry]

I don't particularly see nothing wrong with mopey poetry, specially if is an expression of someone feelings! And definitely life wont always be candy and rainbow, flowers and stars shining...etc
I think your poem is very expressive, honest, some parts even fun...lol...(sorry, with all due respect :-)and very sweet. I truly love it from start to finish....and you did very well!!!!

Cotton candy and rainbows will certainly come in due time dear :-))))

See you,
Hugs

[Silmara McGarry]

Writing out ones emotions is always good
therapy for what we feel inside got out
of your system so to speak..i feel what
you're saying ; many of time I wish I could
walk away and not look back ..easier
said then done..nice work

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so much! Have a wonderful day. (:

[Audie G. Couch]

Great poem. There's nothing wrong with expressing your feeling. Especially the sad, or bad ones. That way they don't fester.

Keep it up, and thanks for sharing =-)

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Hey, thank you so much! It’s makes me feel much better it seems most writers and poets agree it’s good to vent. Thank you so much!

[Coyote Poetry]

The mopey poetry. Hemingway wrote of his Agnes and Dante's Beatrice stay in his heart. Their mopey tales. Everlasting. We must know many dances and the heart will suffer more. I liked the old saying. When you love someone, you become weaker. I learn what love as. When I held my first child. Now my children, my grandchildren. I worry for. Hello dear friend and I hope you are doing well. Thank you for sharing your words and your thoughts.

Thank you so much! I'm doing well, and I hope you are also, and keeping safe. (:

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome my dear friend and I am doing okay.

I am not a cotton candy rainbow person 90 percent of the time. I have mercurial moods the swirl with deep silver.

Write what you feel and don’t worry what others will think. Get those pent up emotions out in a constructive manner that keeps you more level on a daily basis.

This poem is one most can relate to on loss of love and of feeling like our writing isn’t what it should be. It has a very human open aspect to it and that is what really matters. Creative and well done

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, it helps so much. (:

[Poetic Beauty]

You are most welcome

[jacob erin-cilberto]

fame is fleeting for celebrities, love seems fleeting for many of us.
we are famous to that one person as long as it lasts...but then when it ends,
it feels hard to find another part in someone's life.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Yes, that's exactly true, it feels so hard to find another part, especially with someone else. Thank you so much for the review! (:

[Chris Shaw]

Pour your heart out, splash it across the page. Better out than in I say. Cathartic comes to mind. It ain't easy to move on. Takes time. Our heart takes a hell of a bashing when we realise we are yesterday's news. I liked the openness here. Could feel you Colacat. Good job done.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so much, your reviews and the others are so kind and inspiring, I should’ve know to come here and post to get out of my writing rut! Thank you so, so much. 💙

[Chris Shaw]

You are welcome. Colacat.

[emmajoy]

If writing helps you into a mopey-less state - write on! People are asked to paint to display their inner emotions.. so why not write the same. Tis like a psychological clean-out.. and it really does help you see more clearly even if choice needs be made. Perhaps? Your poem cries, fights to evict, fights to comfort safe.. and is finely put. So hope your lips curl up and your feel ten feet up in the air, floating happily floating! Take care, keep safe.. and do please, try hard to smile. Soon.

[Vertigo Cat1111]

Thank you so much! Your review and kind words really help and put a smile on my face, so it’s a really b it help. Thank you so, so much. (:

[emmajoy]

Not an expert, never will be.. but as long as finding words fills your time.. you will be eternally happy.. or helped.. believe me. I have it on good authority... mine ! : )

[Einstein Noodle]

"feel free to skip" eh!? :))))))))))))))))) honestly, Ms. Colecat ... i really like this .. you are poking a bit of fun at yourself which, i think, is the kind of humility that gets us through all kinds of things that are unpleasant in life. Your very personal and honest poem inspires me to think of my worst losses and all it taught and shaped in me. Grieving takes its own time and is not the same for all. Finding those to "tell" it to gets to be troublesome pretty quick. But i read one time, somewhere ... that when one friend starts giving the move on advice but one's heart is still bleeding .. do move on .. to another friend to weep with ... until they give the same advice .. we need to tell others how much we hurt .. until it is diminished enough that we can carry it with a certain gratitude. After all .. true, deep and honest love does not come to everyone. ;) loved reading your poem .. we aren't alone in our suffering are we!?

Haha thank you so much! I’m glad you seemed to like it! Yes, I though a little humor would lighten the tone of this poem, but I’m so happy you enjoyed it nonetheless. Thank you again! (:
