How Can I live like this

How Can I live like this

A Poem by Rion

 

I swore I saw you the other day,

But I knew that there was no way,

My mind was playing tricks, that’s all,

But seeing you made me recall:

 

The times that we spent together,

I thought that we would last forever,

But it ended, now I can’t forgive,

That we can’t last, we can’t live.

 

My mind’s playing tricks, you’re always there,

I’d see you, I’d blink, then nothing but air,

Tears well in eyes when they look at me,

They say “my sorrow is driving me crazy.”

 

I wish I was standing by you’re side,

I miss you so much,

It seems my life’s now a lonely ride,

But I swear I can still feel your touch.

 

I don’t know how I live like this,

Without your smile, without your kiss,

But I still feel you watching me,

That’s the only thing keeping me free.

 

I wish, everyday, that you were still here,

But thinking about it sheds a tear,

From my eyes to my heart,

Since you died, my life fell apart.

The poem was good on emotion, but the images didn't pop. I always write poetry based on my personal experiences/emotions - I think it helps the poem's images come clear and strong, but it usually makes for a very closed poem.
I usually stay away from structured rhyme. I will be honest - I like poetry that describes situations in ways that they have never been described before. This poem does not fit that bill, however poetry can be written for many reasons, and the poem never has to mean anything to anyone but the writer. Keep writing and best of luck.
