Apparently Nothing

Oh well.

Please No CSS

Like feathers shorn from the wings of angels

You fell upon me like a tidal wave

So little left to blend the edges

Nothing to salvage from within

So little left to save

 

You’re really the only one

But since I’m just a zero

There is no us together

There is only you

 

We speak through so many recollected memories

All the years bleeding together through a kaleidoscope haze

But you can only see me through the eyes of a stranger

You’ve stolen away the night

And left me with restless days

 

You’re really my perfect one

But since I’m just your zero

There will never be us together

Because I am nothing without you

 

And you can’t see me

No, you can’t see me because I’m not there

I am nothing

 

I am just your zero, the emptiness within

You get nothing out of me then repeat it again

 

You’re really my perfect one

But since I’m just your zero

There will never be us together

Because I am nothing without you

 

And what has it been worth to you?

Apparently nothing

[Mysteriously Me]

I would have to say that I absolutely love this piece more than anything. I love the idea of the "one's and zero's" mainly because it paints this picture of artistic value. It reminds me of a song, actually. =P I am sure you know which one I am thinking of.

Either way, it gives it flavor, I would have to say. It makes it unique because when I see something like that said, I do think of you. Great work. Nice piece.

The steady beat throughout the poem had a feeling of rocking back in forth in the realization of something, which adds so much more to it.

Great write!

[Jack E.]

Thanks a bunch, guys!

wow! That 1st stanza gets ya!
"I am just your zero, the emptiness within

You get nothing out of me then repeat it again" these lines are so full of misery. So much pain and yet...you get the feeling this person almost clings to the hurt as if it is the last connection they have with the person who inflicted the pain. Great writing.

I thought "song" the entire time - it has that beat and simplicity to it that would make it good with music. Well done. :)

This would make an excellent song. And, uh, I know the feeling... great job here.
