Where Are You Now?

She/he lost God.

I can’t see the other side,

Where is God now?

He left me alone, without any sight.

I’m blinded, I cannot see the Sun.

All I see is velvety black.

You left me behind,

Where are you now?

You’ve left me alone, without any heart.

I’ve forgotten how to love,

I can’t remember being loved.

You left me behind,

Where are you now?

You’ve left me alone, without a memory.

All the blankness, it clouds my mind.

I can’t remember when you were last around.

You left me behind, with no goodbye.

I can’t remember what you look like,

My heart has forgotten your love,

I’ve lost who you are.

Where is God now?

Author's Note

I don't know what this is about. I mainly guess this is about believing in God but he doesn't show when you've put all your faith in him. I just wrote this one night and this is what happened. I hope you like it.

(You requested me to read this...no idea how long ago, but I'm doing it now :])

I do like this. It's rather simple, which is good. I thought for a moment that you could possibly use more description, but I think that might be too elaborate for the poem itself.

As you've stated, it's obviously about God not being around when you need him. Like abandonment. He's abandoned you in a time of need, and that creates confusion because you've spent your life believing in a being who is meant to be there for his children. I guess it could also show that this is the final straw, and if he's not here now when you need him, how could you possibly rely on him with bigger problems and disasters. It's like your ready to say no as well.

"I've lost who you are," kind of illustrates what I mean, but I guess that line also has another meaning. Someone's left, or changed. The line could possibly have a double meaning. Someone leaving/changing and God not being who you thought he was.

I like the narration, because it does leave you wondering who exactly you're aiming the poem at. Upon reading it, it does sound like there is God and there's someone else. There's someone who has done wrong and taken every ounce of you - yet there's God. Or it could be just God as the subject. Maybe a father? Which then makes it kinda funny because God is the father of Jesus and religion....

This was a good write though. :]

This could mean a lot of things. God could be a metaphor, or it could refer to an actual God.

Either way; well done! I enjoyed this piece.

This is really good,
and could be related to by someone who lost a loved one...
great job.

I like how you do questions throughout the entire peice. It is a beautiful peice that flows very naturally. It is only natural for us to second guess about god.

This was beautiful. I liked it a lot. God is here, he is every where. Hes always around, believe. But I get what your saying and I can relate.
