Lost In Emotion

A poem about lost emotion? Okaay... I guess

Lost in comprehension,
But I just found you
Looking unto Nothingness -
A picturesque, plain view.
Your thoughts are known
Only to you alone,
But as they purge you
I feel your soul FALL.

It shatters as your face
Fails to find expression.
I express my concern,
You digress from depression to smile.
A blank smile as if to hide,
The emotion that exists within.
No one sees it except for me,
I watch your nonchalance ware thin.

You grow more angry,
More wary - which worries me.
You may act from impulse,
And lose self-control so suddenly
As to do something stupid.
You sit still with your mind moving,
Like the resonating roars
Of a racing Black Stallion.

I watch you watch the world
Falling before your eyes,
But the cloudy skies
Refuse to let them rain.
You do not cry,
Or even show the slightest emotion.
All you are is lost in comprehension.
All I am is your REFLECTION.

Deeply wonderful self-examination my friend. Well written and with a smooth flow through the evolution of the depression. The only part I thought a bit odd was the description of a Black Stallion roaring, but who am I to debate how one sees themselves. Great poem.

Lol Thanks for the positive review...as for the racing black stallion,it alludes to the F1...think Ferari...which makes the whole scenario of my still,racing mind a super (perhaps over) well-thought out paradox...
