Nothing

Take my brain

It has the truth

Nobody listens to the truth

 

Take my eyes

They see someone they like

Nobody likes me back

 

Take my hands

They are love

Nobody touches me back

 

Take my feet

They take me to someone

They bail on me when I arrive

 

Take my lungs

You should be the air that I breathe

Your ignorance is stifling me

 

Take my heart

It used to beat for you

My heart has no reason to beat

 

Take my happiness

There is no such thing

Too many people want to make me feel miserable

 

Take my sorrow

It has wept for you

My sorrow just weeps

 

Take my mouth

It wants to tell a story

Nobody is there to listen

 

Take all my reproduction

It's never going to give life

It's just simply used

 

Take it all and burn it

Because that is all everyone wants to do with it

Powerful words.....though our emotions can sometimes suck out all hope from our souls......while hope always remains.

My sister has accepted now, at the age of 48, that she is happily single. Either one has to make that decision, or keep the hope alive.....:)

Reads like the couples you see when out for a meal. They sit across from each other sharing food and drink but neither words or looks.
Good morning

This is very true. It was a relationship that started and continued with no boundaries and sucking the energy from one another.

[jb]

Very unique indeed. I enjoyed it :)

Wonderfully painful poem, dear poet.

If we burn your everything, we burn this world, because the history of this world lives in every woman.
Shall we burn this world?

[Jennifer]

Well said.
If I think about it, you cannot start a fire without a spark. Many women are firecrackers.

[Misery]

If we do not burn this world, then we still have your everything.
What shall we do with your everything? I say we should be grateful for the inspirations you share.

[Jennifer]

Thank-you! My everything should just be known.

[Misery]

Poem by poem it is becoming known. You are welcome.

[Julia Mars]

Very depressing poem that accurately describes those moments we all have when we feel down and nothing goes right. For me it's generally linked to PMS.

[Stanley Wilson]

Brilliant work loved the poem

[Jennifer]

The poem is a superb work.You portrayed perfectly how a person is ignored by her loved one.
Thank you for sharing.

[Jennifer]

Thank-you! I had some strong feelings that day.

[zainul]

You are always welcome!

Your words are very potent when it comes to conveying the anchoring effects and the drowning effects of emotion. I suspect that it is health to purge such shadows into ink form so that the daily breath doesn't have to be filled with soot from the fires of anguish and pain.
I hope that writing these words effected a theraputic resonance.

Hope and Light to you! Thanks for sharing your ink!

I almost forgot I wrote this one. I wrote it about yet another person avoiding me. Love is a powerful emotion.
