whole

If only I could 'think of you'

between the words of a love song

feeling and hoping and wishing

this is how i want to feel.

This is how i want to feel.

THIS IS HOW I WANT TO FEEL.

Love is painful?

Nothing is f*****g agony.

I want to feel.

 

I've recited all the poems,

read all the stories,

heard all the songs.

I've listened,

I've imagined.

I've seen it, I've felt it.

But I can only imagine.

Imagine.

Imaginary.

Imagine.

Think, feel,

there's nothing left.

There was nothing there.

Nothing there.

Broken,

Broken

         images

Broken

         images.

Imagine.

 

Torn photographs

and torn paper

and torn hearts

and torn ideals.

Just do me a favour.

I'm tired

because this is all I feel now.

This is what I can't feel now

teach me something different.

Anything

something.

 

Teach me something new.

Author's Note

This is a mixture of about a million poems that weren't worth posting seperately, because that would be boring
Sorry about it being similar to the rest of my stuff. New stuff will come.
I hope.

I remember howling at the agony of nothingness
and the nothingness of agony engulfing me.
Your poem reads like I felt as a teenager; you have so much better, and only occasionally worse, ahead of you. New stuff will come, I promise. Z

I've recited all the poems,
read all the stories,
heard all the songs.
I've listened,
I've imagined.
I've seen it, I've felt it.
But I can only imagine.


wow.This poem is filled with so much wit and sadness....your style of writing is brilliant and so in tune with life.
I feel that way a lot.this stanza about being numb and unable to feel anymore is portrayed perfectly...
well done dear.

This is very good. And you are right, new stuff will come.

[Loribeth215]

it will.
sometimes you have to keep going in a particular vein until you get it. and sometimes that will take you several different poems to get to the heart of what you need to say. that does not mean that individualy they aren't good. it sounds like you hit upon it here.

i liked the immediacy of this piece. it's very good and expresses emptiness well.

keep it up.
