Abyss of Man

I'm hurt
beyond
measure
not even poetry
can bring
me back

I have come
to the realization
I now know
there is no
cure for me

Not even love

This is not a poem

It is a scream

A cry out

An ending

A lungs
release of all
the life and love
within me

My soul fades
my fire wains

I disappear
into the dreary fog
and dark of agony

I have looked to long
into the eyes of
an abyss of
a broken
man

A powerful and direct use of words and thoughts in the poem. Sometime we must be honest in what we need and feel. No weakness in the amazing poetry.

There is no way that he will not understand it. It screams for the attention it deserves.

[Yasmin]

This is genius and short... I like it a lot and I can easily relate
Thank you for sharing

[Richard Layne]

your poetry is always honest and pulls me in. I use poetry as therapy as well a lot of times it feels good to get it out and cheaper than a therapist. you are the strong one. sometimes guys have problems with that ha ha.

If he doesn't then I swear to you I do. You could just as well have been describing the abyss growing between my woman and me. I have scrapped and dragged myself back to poetry, starting with what once was dear to me in my conception of her. The poems I have shared here so far were so private I dared not breathe them to the world because they were for her and her alone. Now I am exposing them. May all read them and weep. I weep for you, and I hear your scream. Now may the world hear us roar.

Its sad to hear that. I put my heart and soul into my poetry for all the world to read or look over so it seems lol I think a few of my poems will affect you thanks for all your reviews

[Robert Tusitala O'Neill]

Poetry is a creative outlet for thoughts and emotions. It is to put feeling without words into words. You write poetry to feel relieved in a sense. When you say "This is not a poem", it truly conveys how deep this depressive mood is.

I could feel the emotions behind this and it really good.

[MsJewel]
